Aqua-(1H-benzimidazole-κN)(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato-κO,N,O)copper(II) 0.75-hydrate
Abstract:
The title complex, [Cu(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(C(7)H(6)N(2))(H(2)O)]·0.75H(2)O, consists of discrete monomeric units. The Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms and the N atom from a dipicolinate unit and by an N atom from a benzimidazole ligand. The distorted square-pyramidal geometry is completed by a longer axial bond to the O atom of a water mol-ecule. The mol-ecular structure and packing are stabilized by classical O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, also including a disordered crystal water molecule.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.
Aldehydes and Ketones with Water: Hydrate Formation
The formation of hydrates is a reversible reaction. Hydrate formation is influenced by steric and electronic factors accompanying the alkyl substituents on the carbonyl group: The rate of hydrate formation increases with a decrease in the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Hence,...
