Abstract:
In the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(8)H(4)BrO(4))(4)(C(16)H(20)N(4))(H(2)O)(2)], slightly distorted square-planar-coordinated Cu(II) ions are bound by one aqua ligand and two monodentate 3-bromo-5-carb-oxy-benzoate anions, and linked into a centrosymmetric dinuclear mol-ecule by a bridging 1,4-bis-(pyridin-4-ylmeth-yl)piperazine (4-bpmp) ligand. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected into a supra-molecular two-dimensional network parallel to (131) via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the aqua ligands and 3-bromo-5-carb-oxy-benzoate carboxyl-ate groups.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
