A copper(II) complex [Cu-2(m-MBA)(4)(2,2'-bipy)(2)(H2O)] center dot H2O with m-methylbenzoic acid (m-MBA), 2,2, bipyridine (2,2'-bipy) and water molecule has been synthesized by means of hydrothermal way and characterized. Crystal data for this complex: monoclinic, space group C2/c, a=2.591 8(5) nm, b = 1.414 2(3) nm, c = 1.790 8(4) nm, ss=131.80(3)degrees, V=4.893 3(17) nm(3), D-c=1.379 g center dot cm(-3), Z=4, F(000)=2 104, Final GooF=1.034, R,=0.065 6, wR(2)= 0.197 6. The crystal structure shows that two neighboring copper(II) Ions are linked together by two bridging-chelating m-methylbenz...
