Bis[(2-quinolyl)methanediol-κ2N,O](sulfato-κO)copper(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(SO4)(C10H9NO2)2]·2H2O, the CuII ion is chelated by two (2-quinolyl)methanediol ligands and coordinated by a monodentate sulfate ligand in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal environment, with O atoms occupying the equatorial sites and N atoms in the axial sites. The dihedral angle between the two essentially planar quinoline ring systems is 45.02 (9)°. In the crystal structure, an extensive O—H...O hydrogen-bonding network forms layers parallel to the ab plane.
