Aqua[3-carboxy-2-(3,5-dibromo-2-oxidobenzylamino-κ2 N,O)propanoato-κO 1](dimethylformamide-κO)copper(II) dimethylformamide solvate monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C11H7Br2NO5)(C3H7NO)(H2O)]·C3H7NO·H2O, the CuII atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry defined by two O atoms and one N atom from a 3-carboxy-2-(3,5-dibromo-2-oxidobenzylamino)propanoate ligand, one O atom from a dimethylformamide (DMF) molecule in the basal plane, and by one O atom from an aqua ligand in the apical position. In the crystal structure, the water molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains which resemble a pearl necklace. The molecules form a three-dimensional supramolecular network through O—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds.
