(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ2N,N′)[3-(2-oxidobenzylideneamino)propanoato-κ3O,N,O′]copper(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C10H9NO3)(C10H8N2)]·2H2O, the CuII atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The basal positions are occupied by three donor atoms from the tridentate Schiff base ligand and by one N atom from a 2,2′-bipyridine ligand. The apical position is occupied by the other N atom of the 2,2′-bipyridine ligand. The solvent water mol­ecules link adjacent complex mol­ecules through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a chain running along the [\overline{1}01] direction.
