Abstract

The structure of poly-μ-pyrazine-bis(pyrazine)(dinitrato-O)copper(II), Cu(pyz)3(NO3)2, has been investigated by X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 6.8040 (10), b = 7.2860 (10), c = 9.289 (2) Å, α = 69.65 (2), β = 68.51 (2), γ = 67.51 (2)°, and Z = 1. The structure consists of linear chains of copper ions bridged by bidentate pyrazine groups, with monodentate terminal pyrazine and nitrate groups completing the distorted octahedral geometry about the copper ions.
