[4-(2-Aminoethyl)morpholine-κ2 N,N′]aqua(oxalato-κ2 O,O′) copper(II) monohydrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C2O4)(C6H14N2O)(H2O)] center dot H2O, includes a CuN2O3 coordination polyhedron in the shape of a slightly distorted square pyramid with bidentate morpholine and oxalate ligands. Copper(II) is coordinated by 4-(2-aminoethyl) morpholine (etMorph) N atoms, with Cu-N distances of 2.050 (3) and 1.985 (3) angstrom, and two carboxylate O atoms from the oxalate ligand, with Cu-O distances of 1.955 (2) and 1.965 ( 2) angstrom; both ligands are located in the basal plane, whereas a water molecule is apically positioned [Cu-O = 2.251 (3) angstrom]. The crystal packing is dominated by N-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds.
