Abstract
Bis{2,6-bis (hydroxymethyl) pyridine-O,O,N} {μ-bis(2-hydroxymethylpyridyl) methanolate-O,N} dicopper(II) di(propionate) (CCDC 143763) has been prepared and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 293(2) K. The crystal structure consists of dimeric complex cation, [Cu 2 (μ-bhmp) 2 (bhmpH) 2 ] -2 and propionate anions ( bhmp- 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl) pyridine; bhmpH - 2-(6-hydroxymethylpyridyl) methanolate ) and propionate anions. The complex cation contains two neutral and two monodeprotonated bhmp molecules, each coordinate to one Cu(II) atom in a tridentate chelating manner, via two O atoms and N atom. The monodeprotonated bmph molecules are also tridentate coordinate via N atom and only one O atom, which serve as bridge between two CuO 4 N 2 moieties. The propionate anions are fixed to the complex by the hydrogen bonds.
