Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a copper(II) complex involving 3-methyl-benzoate and 2,2'-bi-pyridine ligands.

ABSTRACT: 3-Methyl-benzoic acid (3-mbH) and 2,2'-bi-pyridine (bipy) reacted with a cop-per(II) salt forming a new mixed ligand complex, aqua-(2,2'-bi-pyridine-κ² N,N')bis-(3-methyl-benzoato)-κ² O,O';κO-copper(II) 0.68-hydrate, [Cu(C₈H₇O₂)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·0.68H₂O or [Cu(3-mb)₂(bipy)(H₂O)]·0.68H₂O. The coord-ination environment of Cu^II is a distorted octa-hedron. The metal atom is attached to two 3-mb moieties, which bind in monodentate and bidentate fashions. One of the 3-mb units is disordered. The coordination environment is completed by one bipy ligand and a water mol-ecule. A second water mol-ecule i
