A copper complex of an unusual hydroxy–carboxylate ligand: [Cu(bpy)(C4H4O6)]

A copper(II) complex, (2,2′-bipyridine-κ2N,N′)[2-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl-κO)propanedioato-κ2O1,O3]copper(II), [Cu(C4H4O6)(C10H8N2)], containing the unusual anionic chelating ligand 2-(hydroxymethyl)tartronate, has been synthesized. [Cu(bpy)2(NO3)](NO3) was mixed with ascorbic acid and Dabco (1,4-di...
