One novel polynuclear complex [Cu2(bpc)2(N3)4Ca(H2O)2Na2(H2O)2]n having three different transition and non-transition metal centres

The complex [Cu2(bpc)2(N3)4Ca(H2O)2Na2(H2O)2]n (1) (bpc2−=2,2′-bipyridyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate) has been prepared and characterised by elemental analyses, spectroscopic and single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed a novel polynuclear complex containing three different metal centres such as an alkali metal (sodium), an alkaline earth metal (calcium) and a transition metal atom (copper) connected together by azide and carboxylato groups.
