Dj. Xu et al., THE POLYMERIC COPPER(II) COMPLEX LINE-N,N'-(MU-ISONICOTINATO-N,O)MONOAQUACOPPER(II) NITRATE DIHYDRATE, Journal of coordination chemistry, 43(2-3), 1998, pp. 237-242
The title complex has been prepared and its structure determined by X-
ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in space group C2/c with a =
26.892(5), b = 10.479(4), c = 14.179(2) Angstrom, beta = 98.59(2)degr
ees. Isonicotinate anions bridge adjacent Cu(II) atoms through the pyr
idine N atom and the carboxyl O atom to form zigzag polymeric chains a
long the b axis. The carboxyl group of the isonicotinate anion coordin
ates to the Cu(II) atom as a unidentate. Based on the molecular struct
ure the infrared spectrum is discussed.
