Tetra­kis(4-amino­pyridine-κN (1))dichlorido­copper(II) monohydrate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CuCl(2)(C(5)H(6)N(2))(4)]·H(2)O, contains two crystallographically independent complex mol­ecules and two water mol­ecules. The Cu(II) ion in each mol­ecule is six-coordinated in an elongated octa­hedral geometry, with the equatorial plane defined by four pyridine N atoms of four amino­pyridine ligands and the axial positions occupied by two Cl atoms. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by C—H⋯Cl, O—H⋯Cl, N—H⋯O, N—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C/N—H⋯π inter­actions involving the pyridine rings.
