Octa­aqua­bis(μ(2)-1H-pyrazole-3,5-di­carboxyl­ato)tricopper(II) tetra­hydrate

In the trinucler Cu(II) complex mol­ecule of the title compound, [Cu(3)(C(5)HN(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(8)]·4H(2)O, the central Cu(II) atom is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The equatorial sites are occupied by two N and two O atoms from two pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxyl­ate ligands and the axial positions are occupied by two water mol­ecules. The two other symmetry-related Cu(II) atoms are penta­coordinated and assume a square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, coordinated and uncoordinated water mol­ecules and carboxyl­ate O atoms are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
