Aqua-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-κN)(oxalato-κ2 O,O′)copper(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C2O4)(C5H8N2)2(H2O)], the CuII atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry by two N atoms belonging to the two 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole ligands, two O atoms of the oxalate anion providing an O,O′-chelating coordination mode, and an O atom of the water mol-ecule occupying the apical position. The crystal packing shows a well defined layer structure. Intra-layer connections are realised through a system of hydrogen bonds while the nature of the inter-layer inter-actions is completely hydro-phobic, including no hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. © International Union of Crystallography 2008.
