Synthesis and Structure of a Copper(II) Complex Based on N-2-(2-pyridyl)Ethyl-2-Aminoethanesulfonic Acid.

A novel copper(II) complex based on N-2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid is prepared, its structure is studied by XRD (CCDC No. 2215117). The crystal of the complex is formed by monomeric [CuLH2O]NO3 units. The metal centers of the units have an octahedral coordination environment formed by nitrogen atoms of pyridine and the amino group, oxygen atoms of the sulfo group, and water molecules located in the equatorial plane. On the axial axis, there are oxygen atoms of the sulfo groups of the neighboring ligands forming a 1D coordination polymer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
