Description
Summary:The title compound, [Cu2(C7H3NO5)2(C10H8N2)(H2O)2], exhibits a centrosymmetric binuclear molecule. Each completely deprotonated 4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid molecule assumes a tridentate chelating coordination mode. The square-pyramidal coordination geometry around the CuII ion is completed by the bridging bipyridine ligand and an apical water molecule. Adjacent complexes are connected via O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
