Description
Summary:In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C19H20N2O4)(H2O)], there are two independent mononuclear CuII complexes. The coordination environment of each CuII ion is square-pyramidal completed by two N atoms and two O atoms forming the basal plane, and one O atom of the water molecule occupying the apical position. Neighbouring complexes are connected via O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the water molecule and the methoxy group, forming a chain structure along the a axis. The propylene groups of the two independent complexes are disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.361 (7):0.639 (7) and 0.224 (8):0.776 (8). The crystal under investigation was a partial inversion twin.
