Bis(1,3,5-triamino-1,3,5-trideoxy-cis-inositol-κ³N)copper(II) Dichloride Tetrahydrate

Crystals of the title compound, [Cu(C₆H₁₅N₃O₃)₂]Cl₂.4H₂O, are isotypic with those of the analogous Cu^II bromide and the corresponding Ni^II and Zn^II bromides [Hegetschweiler, Gramlich, Ghisletta & Samaras (1992). Inorg. Chem. 31, 2341–2346]. The coordination polyhedron of the Cu atom shows a strong Jahn-Teller distortion from octahedral symmetry. The location of all H-atom positions gives a more detailed understanding of the three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding framework in (I) and its related compounds.
