metal-organic compounds
In the title compound, [Cu(C13H9NO3)(H2O)]n, the CuII ion is in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment, with four short bonds in the basal plane formed by three donor atoms of the Schiff base and a water O atom. A symmetry-related neighbouring molecule provides an apical carboxylate O atom at a distance of 2.551 (3) Å; this contact leads to the formation of zigzag polymeric chains. In addition, the chain fragments are connected to each other by hydrogen bonding.
