Tetraaquabis[4-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzoato-κN1]copper(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C9H6N3O2)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, the CuII atom lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzoate ligands and four water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds lead to a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions between the benzene rings and between the benzene and triazole rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.657 (1) and 3.752 (1) Å] are observed.
