Bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN3)bis[2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetato-κO]copper(II) monohydrate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C12H9O2)2(C4H6N2)2]·H2O, the CuII atom is coordinated by two 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetate anions and two 1-methylimidazole ligands, giving monomeric complexes with a square-planar coordination environment. Two complex molecules and two water molecules form a centrosymmetric ring system via O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
