title: μ-α-Methyl-glutarato-bis-{aqua-[bis-(2-pyridylcarbon-yl)aminato]copper(II)} trihydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(12)H(8)N(3)O(2))(2)(C(6)H(8)O(4))(H(2)O)(2)]·3H(2)O, both crystallographically independent Cu atoms are in similar distorted square-pyramidal coordination environments. The dinuclear complex mol-ecules are assembled into one-dimensional supra-molecular chains extending in the [100] direction by hydrogen bonds. Inter-chain hydrogen bonds further link these chains into layers perpendicular to [001].
