metal-organic compounds
The CuII atom of the title complex, [Cu(C9H7NO3)(C7H9N)(H2O)], has a square-pyramidal coordination sphere with a tridentate N-salicylideneglycinato Schiff base dianion and a 2,4-dimethylpyridine ligand bound in the basal plane. The apex of the pyramid is occupied by an O atom from the coordinated water molecule at an apical distance of 2.416 (2) Å. The monomeric moieties in the crystal are stabilized through hydrogen bonding, building a two-dimensional network. The copper(II) polyhedra are arranged in two magnetically inequivalent orientations, leading to a slight distorted ferrodistortive coupled g tensor.
