Abstract
In the title compound, [Cu(C4H6N2O3)(C8H8N2)].3H2O, the Cu(II) atom is coordinated in a square-planar manner by one O atom and three N atoms from glycylglycinate and 2-methylbenzimidazole ligands. The ternary complexes assemble into one-dimensional chains through C-H...pi interactions and direct N-H...O hydrogen bonding, as well as into hydrogen-bonded water helices with branches which also link the complex chains into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
