(2,2′-Bipyridyl-κ2N,N′)chlorido(dl-threoninato-κ2N,O1)copper(II) monohydrate

In the title compound, [Cu(C4H8NO3)Cl(C10H8N2)]·H2O, the CuII atom is in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry with the basal plane defined by the two N atoms of the bipyridine ligand and the N and O atoms from the threoninate ion and the apical site occupied by the Cl atom. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H...O, N—H...O, O—H...Cl, C—H...O and C—H...Cl interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network. A π–π interaction with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.461 (1) Å is also present.
