Aquabis(2-nitrobenzoato-κO)bis(pyridine-κN)copper(II)

In the title complex, [Cu(C 7H 4NO 4) 2(C 5H 5N) 2(H 2O)], the Cu II atom has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment, bonded to two carboxylate O atoms of two 2-nitrobenzoate ligands, two pyridine N atoms and one water O atom. O - H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions result in a chain structure. © 2006 International Union of Crystallography. All rights reserved.
