Abstract: | The title complex, bis[μ3‐cis‐N‐(2‐aminopropyl)‐N′‐(2‐carboxylatophenyl)oxamidato(3−)]‐1:2:4κ7N,N′,N′′,O:O′,O′′:O′′′;2:3:4κ7O′′′:N,N′,N′′,O:O′,O′′‐bis(2,2′‐bipyridine)‐2κ2N,N′;4κ2N,N′‐dichlorido‐1κCl,3κCl‐tetracopper(II) dihydrate, [Cu4(C12H12N3O4)2Cl2(C10H8N2)2]·2H2O, consists of a neutral cyclic tetracopper(II) system having an embedded centre of inversion and two solvent water molecules. The coordination of each CuII atom is square‐pyramidal. The separations of CuII atoms bridged by cis‐N‐(2‐aminopropyl)‐N′‐(2‐carboxylatophenyl)oxamidate(3−) and carboxyl groups are 5.2096 (4) and 5.1961 (5) Å, respectively. A three‐dimensional supramolecular structure involving hydrogen bonding and aromatic stacking is observed. |
