Abstract
The synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of [Cu(C7H3NO4)(C6H7NO)], [Cu(dipic)(4-MeO-Py)], (dipic = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate, 4-MeO-Py = 4-methoxypyridine), is described. Molecules of [Cu(dipic)(4-MeO-Py)] are formed {via} coordination of the copper(II) cation to two nitrogen atoms, from the dipic and 4-MeO-Py ligands respectively, and to two oxygen atoms from the carboxylate groups of the dipic ligand. The molecules pack in a non-centrosymmetric manner, stacked eclipsed with respect to one another along the b-axis and aligned parallel in a head-to-tail motif. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group, Pca2(1), with a = 27.339(3) Å, b = 3.7130(4) Å, c = 11.6859(12) Å, V = 1186.2(2) Å3, and Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares methods to a final R-factor of 0.0327 for 2648 independent reflections.
