✦ Synopsis
The title compound, [Cu(C 7 H 8 N 2 O) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ](NO 3 ) 2 , was prepared by the reaction of 2-cyano-3-methylpyridine with Cu(NO 3 ) 2 Á3H 2 O in a methanol/water solution. In the crystal structure, the Cu II ion is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two 3-methylpyridine-2-carboxamide ligands in the equatorial plane and two water molecules in the axial positions, forming an elongated octahedral coordination geometry. The Cu-O axial bond distance of 2.4715 (18) A ˚is much longer than the Cu-O equatorial bond distance of 1.9471 (17) A ˚, showing a Jahn-Teller distortion. The nitrate anions are linked with the Cu II complex cation via O-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonding.
