Bis(pyrazine-2-carboxamide)bis(trifluoromethanesulfonato)copper(II) monohydrate
Abstract
The copper(II) ion in [Cu(C5H5N3O)2(CF3SO3)2]·H2O lies on a center of symmetry and is coordinated by two pyrazinecarboxamide ligands in a square-planar geometry with Cu—O and Cu—N distances of 1.9445 (14) and 1.9680 (17) Å, respectively. The Cu(C5H5N3O)2 unit is approximately planar, with an average atomic deviation of 0.057 (4) Å from the least-squares plane. Each copper center is further coordinated, in the axial direction, by two symmetry-equivalent O atoms from trifluoromethanesulfonate anions with a Cu—O distance of 2.4871 (17) Å, giving the copper(II) ion a Jahn–Teller distorted-octahedral geometry.
