Penta-aqua-(1H-benzimidazole-5,6-di-carboxyl-ato-κN)copper(II) penta-hydrate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Cu(C(9)H(4)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)(5)]·5H(2)O, contains one crystallographically independent Cu(II) atom and one 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxyl-ate (bdc) ligand, along with five coordinated and five uncoordinated water mol-ecules. The Cu(II) atom is six-coordinated by one N atom from the bdc ligand and five O atoms from water mol-ecules, giving an octa-hedral coordination geometry. Hydrogen bonds link the mononuclear complex and uncoordinated water mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.
