Bis[2-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4-nitrophenolato]copper(II) dihydrate: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis.

ABSTRACT: The crystal and mol-ecular structures of the title Cu^II complex, isolated as a dihydrate, [Cu(C₂₁H₁₄N₃O₃)₂]·2H₂O, reveals a highly distorted coordination geometry inter-mediate between square-planar and tetra-hedral defined by an N₂O₂ donor set derived from two mono-anionic bidentate ligands. Furthermore, each six-membered chelate ring adopts an envelope conformation with the Cu atom being the flap. In the crystal, imidazolyl-amine-N-H⋯O(water), water-O-H⋯O(coordinated, nitro and water), phenyl-C-H⋯O(nitro) and π(imidazol-yl)-π(nitro-benzene) [inter-centroid distances = 3.7452 (14) and 3.6647 (13) Å] contacts link the components into a supra-molecular layer lying parallel to (101).
