  • Abstract
    The trinuclear triangular cuprate anion of the title compound, tris­[bis­(tri­phenyl­phospho­ranyl­idene)ammonium] tris­(μ2-4-chloro­pyrazolato-κ2N:N′)-μ3-oxido-tris­[(nitrato-κ2O,O′)cuprate(II)] nitrate monohydrate, (C36H30P2N)[Cu3(C3H2ClN2)3(NO3)3O]NO3·H2O, has point group symmetry 3., with the μ3-O atom located on the threefold rotation axis. The distorted square-pyramidal coordination sphere of the CuII atom is completed by two N atoms of trans-bridging pyrazolate groups and a chelating nitrate anion. The complex anion is slightly bent, with the nitrate and pyrazolate groups occupying positions above and below the Cu3 plane, respectively. In the crystal, weak O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, as well as π–π inter­actions, are present.
