Dj. Xu et al., THE POLYMERIC COPPER(II) COMPLEX, 2,2'-BIPYRIDINE-N,N'-(MU-NICOTINATO-O,O'N) MONOAQUACOPPER(II) NITRATE DIHYDRATE, Journal of coordination chemistry, 39(3-4), 1996, pp. 273-280
The nicotinate complex of Cu(II), 2,2'-bipyridine(nicotinato)monoaquac
opper(II) nitrate dihydrate has been prepared and its crystal structur
e has been determined by means of X-ray methods. The nicotinate anions
bridge adjacent Cu(II) atoms through both the pyridine N atom and the
carboxyl group to form infinite chains. The carboxyl group of the nic
otinate anion coordinates to the Cu(II) atom as a chelate. Based on th
e molecular structure the infrared spectrum is discussed.
