Poly[[bis­(4‐chloro­salicylato‐κO)copper(II)]‐di‐μ‐3‐pyridylmethanol‐κ2N:O;κ2O:N]

The polymeric structure of the title complex, [Cu(C7H4ClO3)2(C6H7NO)2]n, at 100 (2) K contains two-dimensional sheets parallel to the ac plane. The CuII atom, lying on an inversion centre, has an octa­hedral coordination environment. It is bonded in a trans-square-planar arrangement to the N atoms of two 3-pyridylmethanol mol­ecules and one carboxyl­ate O atom from each of two 4-chloro­salicylate anions. The axial positions are also occupied by 3-pyridylmethanol, but coordinated through O rather than the pyridyl N atom.
