Diaqua(triethanolamine)copper(II) sulfate monohydrate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C6H15NO3)(H2O)(2)]SO4 center dot H2O, contains a complex cation, a sulfate anion and one uncoordinated water molecule. In the complex cation, the Cu II ion is coordinated by five O atoms (three of which are from the triethanolamine ligand and two from coordinated water molecules) and one N atom of the triethanolamine ligand in a typical Jahn-Teller-distorted octahedral geometry. Classical intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds link the cation, the sulfate anion and the water molecule into a twodimensional network.
