Aqua­bis­(3-Chloro­Benzoato-kO)Bis­(N,N-Di­Ethyl­Nicotinamide-kN)Copper(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(C7H4ClO2)2(C10H14N2O)2(H2O)], has twofold symmetry with the CuII cation and the O atom of the coordinating water mol­ecule located on the axis. The CuII cation is coordinated by two carboxyl­ate O atoms of chloro­benzoate (CB) anions, two N atoms of N,N-di­ethyl­nicotinamide (DENA) ligands and one water mol­ecule in a distorted N2O3 square-pyramidal geometry. The benzene and pyridine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 82.51 (6)°. In the anionic ligand, the carboxyl­ate group is twisted away from the attached benzene ring by 12.85 (11)°. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the coordinating water mol­ecule and the carboxyl group link the complex mol­ecules into supra­molecular chains running along the c-axis direction.
