Abstract
The crystal structure of copper bis(tenuazonate) monohydrate has been determined by X-ray diffraction from 968 counter-measured intensities. The thin flat crystals are monoclinic,P21, witha = 13.77(1),b = 15.51(1),c = 11.14(1) Å, β = 109.5(2) °, and two formula units, C20H26CuN2O6·H2O, per asymmetric unit. The structure was refined by full-matrix least squares toR = 0.056. Because of the dimerization one copper ion is four- and the other five-coordinate. The dimers are hydrogenbonded into sheets by water molecules.
