Bis(4-aminobenzenesulfonato-κO)bis(propane-1,3-diamine-κ2N,N′)copper(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C3H10N2)2(C6H6NO3S)2]·2H2O, the CuII atom lies on an inversion center and is hexacoordinated by four N atoms from two 1,3-diaminopropane ligands and two O atoms from two 4-aminobenzenesulfonate ligands in a trans arrangement, displaying a distorted and axially elongated octahedral coordination geometry, with the O atoms at the axial positions. A three-dimensional network is formed in the crystal structure through O—H...O, N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds.
