Triaqua(pyrazole-4-carboxylato-κN 1)lithium

Abstract

In the monomeric title complex, [Li(C4H3N2O2)(H2O)3], the Li+ cation is coordinated by a pyrazole N atom and three water molecules in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The carboxylate group is deprotonated. The complex molecules are involved in O - H⋯O and N - H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming layers stacked along the b axis.
