A copper(II) paddle-wheel structure of tranexamic acid: di-chloro-tetra-kis-[μ-4-(ammonio-meth-yl)cyclo-hexane-1-carboxyl-ato-O,O']dicopper(II) dichloride hexa-hydrate.

ABSTRACT: Tranexamic acid [systematic name: trans-4-(amino-meth-yl)cyclo-hexane-1-carb-oxy-lic acid], is an anti-fibrinolytic amino acid that exists as a zwitterion [trans-4-(ammonio-meth-yl)cyclo-hexane-1-carboxyl-ate] in the solid state. Its reaction with copper chloride leads to the formation of a compound with a copper(II) paddle-wheel structure that crystallizes as a hexa-hydrate, [Cu₂Cl₂(C₈H₁₅NO₂)₄]²⁺·2Cl^-·6H₂O. The asymmetric unit is composed of a copper(II) cation, two zwitterionic tranexamic acid units, a coordinating Cl^- anion and a free Cl^- anion, together with three water mol-ecules of crystallization. The whole structure is generated by inversion symmetr
