In the title compound, {[Cu(2)(C(4)H(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·3H(2)O}(n), Cu(II) ions with square-pyramidal coordination are bridged by exo-tri-dentate maleate dianions into [Cu(2)(maleate)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n) layers coincident with the bc crystal plane. The inter-lamellar regions contain hydrogen-bonded cyclic water hexa-mers which facilitate layer stacking into a pseudo-three-dimensional crystal structure. The water hexamers themselves are formed by the operation of crystallographic inversion center ...[more]
