Bis(chloro-acetato)-κO,O';κO-methanol-κO-bis-(2-methyl-furo[3,2-c]pyridine-κN)copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Cu(C(2)H(2)ClO(2))(2)(C(8)H(7)NO)(2)(CH(4)O)], the Cu(2+) ion has a highly distorted square-bipyramidal (4 + 1 + 1) coordination environment and is bonded to three carboxyl-ate O atoms of two chloro-acetate anions (monodentate and asymmetrically bidentate), two pyridine N atoms of 2-methyl-furo[3,2-c]pyridine and one methanol O atom. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of a three-dimensional network and π-π stacking inter-actions [3.44-3.83 Å] are observed between symmetry-related rings of 2-methyl-furo[3,2-c]pyridine. Further inter-actions in the crystal structure are a short Cl⋯Cl inter-action [3.384 (2)Å] and C-H⋯π inter-actions between 2-methyl-furo[3,2-c]pyridine rings.
