Aqua(2,2′-bipyrimidine-κ2N,N′)(succinato-κ2O1,O4)copper(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C4H4O4)(C8H6N4)(H2O)]·2H2O, the CuII atom is chelated by a 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpm) ligand and a succinate anion in the basal plane; a water molecule in the apical position completes the slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. Another carboxylate O atom from an adjacent complex is located in the opposite apical direction, with a Cu...O distance of 2.706 (3) Å, and is not considered as a bridging atom. Extensive O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
