Dichloridobis[3-methyl-4-phenyl-5-(2-pyridyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-κ2N1,N5]copper(II) 3.33-hydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [CuCl2(C14H12N4)2]·3.33H2O, the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two chelating 3-methyl-4-phenyl-5-(2-pyrid­yl)-1,2,4-triazole ligands and two chloride anions in a distorted octa­hedral geometry with a CuN2N′ 2Cl2 chromophore. The Cu atom is located on an inversion center. Two uncoordinated water mol­ecules lie on threefold rotation axes with disordered H atoms. Two hydrogen bonds are formed between the water mol­ecules, and another between water and a chlorido ligand.
