The title compound, [CU(C6Cl2O4)(C14H12N2O4)(H2O)].0.5CH(3)CN, adopts a sli
ghtly distorted square-pyramidal geometry around the five-coordinated Cu-II
atoms, when the bidentate benzoquinone anion and the bidentate bipyridine
ligand form the basal plane. The elongated apical position is occupied by a
water molecule. The acetonitrile solvate molecule is disordered.
