Crystal structure of (pyridine-κN)bis(quinolin-2-olato-κ(2) N,O)copper(II) monohydrate.

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [Cu(C9H6NO)2(C5H4N)]·H2O, adopts a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry in which the axial pyridine ligand exhibits a long Cu-N bond of 2.305 (3) Å. The pyridine ligand forms dihedral angles of 79.5 (5) and 88.0 (1)° with the planes of the two quinolin-2-olate ligands, while the dihedral angle between the quinoline groups of 9.0 (3)° indicates near planarity. The water mol-ecule connects adjacent copper complexes through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to phenolate O atoms, forming a network inter-connecting all the complexes in the crystal lattice.
