Crystallographic analysis demonstrates an octahedral coordination geometry in a monomeric copper(II) complex, highlighting layer formation driven by weak non-covalent interactions.
The title compound, [Cu(CH(3)COO)(2)(C(7)H(9)NO)(2)], is a monomeric complex with an octa-hedral geometry. The Cu(II) atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by acetate and 2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanol ligands. The acetate group is coordinated in a monodentate manner, while the 2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanol is coordinated as a bidentate ligand involving the endocyclic N atom and the hy-droxy O atom of the ligand side chain. An intra-molecular hydrogen bond is observed between the hy-droxy O atom and the non-coordinated acetate O atom. No classical inter-molecular hydrogen-bond contacts were observed. However, the crystal packing is effected by C-H⋯O inter-actions, which link the mononuclear entities into layers parallel to the bc plane.
