In crystals of pentaaqua(4-oxo-4H-pyran-2,6-dicarboxylato-O4)copper(II) hydrate, [Cu(C7H206)(H20)5]-H20, the Cu u cation is surrounded by an elongated 06 octahedron. The chelidonate anion {chel, [C5H202(COO)2] 2- } binds to the metal centre through the carbonyl rather than a carboxylate oxygen, and forms a long axial Cu--O bond [2.6746 (16)A]. The axial Cu---Oaqua bond is also relatively long [2.3763 (15)A]. The molecular assembly in the crystal is stabilized by a complex threedimensional network of intermolecular O--H. • -O bonds [O...O 2.597 (2)-2.851 (2) ,~], the water molecules providing the donors, and the carboxylate and carbonyl groups of the chel ligand most of the acceptors, of the hydrogen bonding. |
