Dianilinium bis-(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato-k3 O 2,N,O 6)cuprate(II) hexa-hydrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, (C6H 8N)2[Cu(C7H3NO4) 2]·6H2O, contains half a copper(II)-dipicolinate complex located on a twofold rotation axis, one protonated aniline mol-ecule and three solvent water mol-ecules. The CuII atom is coordinated by four O atoms and two N atoms from two dipicolinate ligands in a distorted octa-hedral environment. In the crystal, the components are linked into a three-dimensional framework by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O inter-actions.
