Bis[(5-bromopyridin-2-yl)methanolato-κ2N,O]copper(II) monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C6H5BrNO)2]·H2O, the CuIIion has a square-planer N2O2coordination environment. Slipped π–π stackings [centroid-centroid distances: 3.625 (3), 3.767 (3), 3.935 (3) and 4.255 (3) Å] between pyridine rings and Cu...π interactions (centroid-to-CuIIdistance: 3.56 Å) between Cu2+ions and pyridine rings lead to a layered arrangement parallel to (010). Intermolecular Br...O interactions [Br...O distances: 2.904 (3) and 3.042 (3) Å] and O—H...O hydrogen bonds form a three-dimensional network structure.
