Summary
The structure of the homobinuclear complex Cu2(aapen)H2O, where aapen is the tetraanionic ligand derived from the condensation of 1,2-diaminocthane witho-acetoacetylphenol, has been determined from diffractometer data and refined to R = 6.1%. The crystals are monoclinic,P21/c, witha = 12.991(5),b = 8.530(4),c = 18.546(6) Å, andβ = 104.10(4)°; Z = 4. The ligand employed has two different coordination sets of atoms, N2O2 and O2O2, two oxygen atoms being common to both donor sets. In the complex, one copper atom is retained in the plane of the inner N2O2 chamber whilst the other, which is incorporated in the outer O2O2 chamber, is five-coordinate, being axially bonded to a water molecule.
