Bis(acetato-κO)[1,2-bis(2-pyridylmethoxy)benzene-κ4N,O,O′,N′]copper(II) tetrahydrate
Abstract
In the title compound, [Cu(CH3COO)2(C18H16N2O2)]·4H2O, the CuII ion is six-coordinated in a Jahn–Teller-distorted octahedral geometry environment defined by four O atoms and two N atoms. A chain structure along [100] is built up by intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the uncoordinated water molecules.
