title: Tetra-aqua-bis-[4-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzoato-κN]copper(II) dihydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C(9)H(6)N(3)O(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, the Cu(II) atom lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzoate ligands and four water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to a three-dimensional supra-molecular network. Intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings and between the benzene and triazole rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.657 (1) and 3.752 (1) Å] are observed.
