Catena-Poly[[(2,2′-bipyridine)copper(II)]-μ-5-nitroisophthalato

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C8H3NO6)(C10H8N2)]n, the Cu atom exists in a four-coordinate environment defined by two carboxyl O atoms belonging to two 5-nitro­isophthalate dianions and two N atoms from a 2,2′-bipyridine molecule. The 5-nitro­isophthalate dianion acts as a bridge between two Cu atoms in a tris-monodentate coordination mode, resulting in a zigzag coordination polymer.
