Aqua[1-(pyridin-2-yl) ethanone oximato][1-(2-pyridin-2-yl) ethanone oxime]copper(II) perchlorate monohydrate

In the title compound, [CuC7H7N2O) C7H8N2O) H2O)]ClO4 center dot H2O, the Cu-II ion is fivecoordinated by the N atoms from the 1 pyridin 2 yl) ethanone oximate and 1 pyridin 2yl) ethanone oxime ligands and by the water O atom in a distorted square pyramidal geometry. The two organic ligands are linked by an intramolecular O H ... O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules and ions are linked by O H ... O hydrogen bonding interactions, forming chains along the a axis. The perchlorate O atoms are disordered in a 0.58 (2): 0.42 (2) ratio.
