The title compound, [Cu(C(8)H(7)O(2))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]I·0.5H(2)O, was obtained by the hydro-thermal reaction of copper(I) iodide, 4-methyl-benzoic acid and 2,2'-bipyridine. The initial reactant of Cu(I) was oxidized to Cu(II). The asymmetric unit contains two independent complex mol-ecules, two I(-) ions and one water molecule. Each Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms from a 4-methyl-benzoate ligand and four N atoms from two 2,2'-bipyridine ligands, displaying a distorted octa-hedral geo ...[more]
