Poly[diaquabis{μ-5-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]tetrazolato}copper(II)]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C11H9N6)2(H2O)2]n, the CuII atom lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by four N atoms from four 5-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]tetrazolate ligands and two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. The ligands bridge the CuII atoms, leading to the formation of a two-dimensional network parallel to (100). The structure is further stabilized by O—H...N hydrogen bonds within the network.
