title: Bis(8-hy-droxy-2-methyl-quinolinium) bis-(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato)cuprate(II) methanol monosolvate monohydrate.
abstract: The title compound, (C(10)H(10)NO)(2)[Cu(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)]·CH(3)OH·H(2)O was prepared by the reaction of copper(II) nitrate hexa-hydrate, 8-hy-droxy-2-methyl-quinoline, and pyridine-2,6-dicarb-oxy-lic acid in a 1:2:2 molar ratio in an aqueous solution. The geometry of the resulting CuN(2)O(4) coordination can be described as distorted octa-hedral. In the crystal, there are several inter-molecular O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in one of the cations. Considerable π-π stacking inter-actions are also observed between the aromatic rings of the cations, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.4567 (13), 3.5342 (14), 3.6941 (14) and 3.4568 (13) Å. These non-covalent inter-actions connect the components, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure.
