Aqua{6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[propane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)], there are two independent mononuclear Cu(II) complexes. The coordination environment of each Cu(II) ion is square-pyramidal completed by two N atoms and two O atoms forming the basal plane, and one O atom of the water mol-ecule occupying the apical position. Neighbouring complexes are connected via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the water mol-ecule and the meth-oxy group, forming a chain structure along the a axis. The propyl-ene groups of the two independent complexes are disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.361 (7):0.639 (7) and 0.224 (8):0.776 (8). The crystal under investigation was a partial inversion twin.
