The title compound, [Cu(C7H5O3)(2)(C6H6N2O)(2)(H2O)(2)], is a crystall
ographically centrosymmetric complex in which pyridine N and carboxyla
te and water O atoms form a tetragonally Jahn-Teller-distorted octahed
ron about the Cu-II ion with bond distances of 1.956 (2), 2.011 (2) an
d 2.575 (2) Angstrom. The noncoordinated carboxylate O atoms form hydr
ogen bonds with the amide N and water O atoms [O ... O 2.705 (4) and O
