title: Aqua-bis-[4-(methyl-sulfan-yl)benzoato-κO]bis-(pyridine-κN)copper(II).
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, [Cu(C(8)H(7)O(2)S)(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)(H(2)O)], the Cu(II) ion is penta-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by two O atoms of two 4-(methyl-sulfan-yl)benzoate anions and two N atoms of two pyridine ligands and a water O atom situated at the apical site. In the crystal structure, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into chains along the b axis.
