title: Aqua-bis-(methacrylato-κO)bis(pyridine-κN)copper(II).
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu(C(4)H(5)O(2))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)(H(2)O)], the Cu(II) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and coordinated by two methyl-acrylate anions, two pyridine ligands and one water mol-ecule in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The coordinated water mol-ecule is also located on the twofold axis. In the crystal structure O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, forming chains along the c axis.
