A new copper(Ⅱ) compound has been prepared and fully characterized by elemen-tal analysis,IR,TG and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The compound [Cu(4-hba)2(inta)(H2O)]·H2O (4-hba=4-hydroxybenzoic acid,inta=isonicotinamide) 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group P21/c with a=7.590(5),b=11.027(5),c=23.761(5),β=102.5740(10)o,V=1974.1(16) 3,Mr=991.84,Z=2,Dc=1.669 g/cm3,F(000)=1020,μ=1.166 mm-1,R=0.0353 and wR=0.0604 for 3166 observed reflections (I 2σ(I)).In compound 1,the copper cation is penta-coordinated with two carboxylate oxygen atoms from two different 4-hba ligands,two oxygen atoms from two coordinated water molecules and one nitrogen atom from inta ligand,showing a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry.
