The complex [Cu(bipy)(pc)(H2O)(ClO4)]·H2O(1)(bipy:4,4'-bipyridine;Hpc:α-pyridine carboxylic acid) has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction method and elemental analysis.It crysrallizes in the Monoclinic space group P21/n.The crystal structure reveals that Cu(Ⅱ) centre adopts a pseudo octahedral geometry.Ligand 4,4'-bipyridine as a bridge coordinates to two different Cu(Ⅱ) center to form a onedimensional zigzag chain.One dimensional chains are linked by C-H…O hydrogen bonding interactions to form two-dimensional layer.Layers are connected by O…H-O hydrogen bond to generate three-dimensional structure.The cyclic voltametric behavior of complex 1 is also investigated.
