Aqua{μ-1,4-bis[(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1-yl)methyl]benzene}(nitrato-κO)dicopper(II) tris(nitrate) trihydrate

Abstract

In the title dinuclear CuII complex, [Cu2(NO3)(C24H46N8)(H2O)](NO3)3·3H2O, the two CuII molecules both have a square-pyramidal geometry, but the ligands in the axial positions are different: a water molecule and a nitrate ion. All nitrate ions, water molecules, and N—H groups are involved in an intermolecular hydrogen-bond network.
