Poly[[(Mu(3)-2,4,6-Tri-4-Pyridyl-1,3,5-Triazine)Copper(I)] Nitrate Monohydrate]

In the title compound, {[Cu(C18H12N6)]NO3 center dot H2O} (n) , the CuI ion is coordinated by three N atoms [Cu-N 1.962 (3)-2.019 (3) A] from three 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine (L) ligands. Each L ligand bridges three CuI atoms, generating a positively charged three-dimensional polymeric network with voids propagated along the b axis. These voids are filled with NO3 - anions with a shortest Cu...O distance of 2.645 (3) A and water molecules, which are linked into negatively charged helical chains via intermolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds.
