Aqua(3-carboxybenzoato-κO1)(nitrato-κO)(dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine-κ2N4,N5)copper(II)

The title complex, [Cu(C8H5O4)(NO3)(C18H10N4)(H2O)], was synthesized by reacting Cu(NO3)2, isophthalic acid and dipyridophenazine under hydrothermal conditions. The CuII ion is in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds connect complex molecules into chains along [001].
