Crystal structure of catena-poly[[copper(II)-μ₂-salicylato-[diaqua-copper(II)]-μ₂-salicylato] dihydrate].

ABSTRACT: The title compound, {[Cu₂(C₇H₄O₃)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O} _n , contains two copper(II) cations in special positions (one on a twofold rotation axis and one on an inversion centre) and the the salicylate ligand in its dianionic form. By four- and six-coordinate metal coordination, chains are formed parallel to [001], which are extended by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding into sheets extending parallel to (100). These sheets are weakly connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding via the non-coordinating lattice water mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.
