Di-mu-hydroxo-bis([bis[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]amine-kappa 3N]copper(II)) dichloride hexahydrate.
The title compound, [Cu(2)(OH)(2)(C(14)H(17)N(3))(2)]Cl(2).6H(2)O, is a crystallographically centrosymmetric dimer of square-pyramidal Cu(II) centres, with a basal-basal [Cu(2)(mu-OH)(2)](2+) bridging motif and apical pyridyl donors. The Cl(-) anion is hydrogen bonded to one O-H and one N-H group, and to three different water molecules. Because of disorder, the network of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the hydrated lattice is only partly resolved.
