[μ-1,4-Bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene]bis[aqua(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)copper(II)] monohydrate

The title compound, [Cu2(C7H3NO4)2(C12H12N6)(H2O)2]·H2O, displays a discrete dinuclear structure, in which the central CuII atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-based pyramidal coordination geometry and the flexible ligand 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene adopts a bis-monodentate bridging mode linking the CuII atoms. It is further assembled by O—H...O hydrogen-bond interactions involving both the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules. The latter exhibits half-occupancy.
