Aqua[6-carboxylato-N′-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)pyridine-2-carbohydrazidato]copper(II) trihydrate
In the title compound, [Cu(C13H8N4O3)(H2O)]·3H2O, the complex molecule, except for the aqua ligand, is essentially planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.034 (2) Å]. The coordination polyhedron of the Cu2+ cation is a square-pyramid, with the aqua ligand at the apex. The compound exhibits a three-dimensional structure, which is is stabilized by O—HO and O—-HN hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 2.987 (3) Å].
