[4-(2-Aminoethyl)piperazin-1-ium]trichloridocopper(II) monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [CuCl3(C6H16N3)]·H2O, the copper(II) ion is five-coordinated by two N atoms from the bidentate 4-(2-amino­ethyl)piperazin-1-ium cation and three chloride ions in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. Inter­molecular N—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds build up an intricate three-dimensional network.
