Aquabis(nicotinamide-κN)(thiocyanato-κN)copper(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(NCS)2(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)], the Cu atom adopts a square-based pyramidal CuN4O coordination, with the water O atom in the apical position. The pairs of N-bonded nicotinamide ligands and thiocyanate anions in the basal plane are in a trans configuration. In the crystal structure, the molecules are connected into sheets by N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
