Aqua(4,4'-dicarbomethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine-N,N')(3,6-dichloro-4,5-dihydroxy-1,2-benzoquinonato-O⁴,O⁵)copper(II) Acetonitrile Hemisolvate

The title compound, [Cu(C₆Cl₂O₄)(C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₄)(H₂O)].0.5CH₃CN, adopts a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry around the five coordinated copper(II) atoms, where the bidentate benzoquinone anion and the bidentate bipyridine ligand form the basal plane. The apical elongated position is occupied by a water molecule. The acetonitrile solvate molecule is disordered.
