Catena-Poly[[[diaqua-copper(II)]-bis-[?-1,5-bis-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pentane-?(2) N (3):N (3')]] naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate].

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, {[Cu(C11H16N4)2(H2O)2](C10H6O6S2)} n , the Cu(II) atom, lying on an inversion center, is six-coordinated by two water mol-ecules and four N atoms from four 1,5-bis-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pentane (biim-5) ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Adjacent Cu(II) atoms are linked by two biim-5 ligands, forming a chain along [111]. Two atoms of the pentane group are disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.554?(18):0.446?(18). Inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds link the chains and the centrosymmetric naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate anions into a layer structure parallel to (0-11).
