Abstract

Crystals oftrans-aqua-bis(pyridine)dibenzoatocopper(II), Cu(NC5H5)2(C7H5O2)2(H2O), are monoclinic,P21/n, witha=5.9847(10),b=18.874(5),c=19.728(10)A,β=92.97(4)°,Z=4, andV=2225.5(13)A3. The full-matrix least-squares refinement used 3030 reflections withI> 2.5σ(I) and converged toR=0.067. The benzoate ions bond as monodentate ligands in this five-coordinate complex. The copper ion is in a square pyrimidal environment with trans pyridine groups and benzoate ions in a slightly distorted square planar arrangement and a water ligand in the axial position. The Cu-O distance to the water molecule is significantly longer (2.273(4) Å) than the distances to the O atoms of the carboxyl groups (1.934(3) and 1.930(4)Å).
