Structure of a monochloro bridged polymeric copper(II)-di-2-pyridylamine complex: [Cu(dipyam)Cl(NO3)].0.5H2O

Di-2-pyridylaminechloronitratocopper(II) hemihydrate, [CuCl(NO3)(C10H9N3)].0.5H2O, M(r) = 341.21, monoclinic, P2(1)/a, a = 7.382 (1), b = 21.494 (4), c = 8.032 (1) angstrom, beta = 94.26 (1)-degrees, V = 1270.9 angstrom 3, Z = 4, D(m) = 1.78, D(x) = 1.782 g cm-3, lambda(Mo K-alpha) = 0.7107 angstrom, mu(Mo K-alpha) = 19.47 cm-1, F(000) = 688. The structure was solved by the heavy-atom method and refined to a final R value of 0.034 for 2736 reflections collected at 294 K. The structure consists of polymeric [Cu(dipyam)Cl(NO3)] units bridged by a chloride ion.
