Poly[tris-(2-amino-butan-1-ol)copper(II) [hexa-kis-μ(2)-cyanido-κ(12) C:N-tetra-copper(I)] bis-(2-amino-butan-1-olato)aqua-copper(II) monohydrate].

The title structure, {[Cu(C(4)H(11)NO)(3)][Cu(4)(CN)(6)]·[Cu(C(4)H(10)NO)(2)(H(2)O)]·H(2)O} (n) , is made up of diperiodic honeycomb Cu(I)CN networks built from [Cu(4)(CN)(6)](2-) units, together with two independent Cu(II) complexes: six-coord-inate [Cu(CH(3)CH(2)CH(NH(2))CH(2)OH)(3)](2+) cations, and five-coordinate [Cu(CH(3)CH(2)CH(NH(2))CH(2)O)(2)·H(2)O] neutral species. The two Cu(II) complexes are not covalently bonded to the Cu(I)CN networks. Strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the Cu(II) complexes into pairs and the pairs are hydrogen bonded into chains along the crystallographic b axis via the hydrate water mol-ecule. In addition, O-H⋯(CN) and N-H⋯(CN) hydrogen bonds link the cations to the CuCN network. In the honeycomb polymeric moiety, all bridging cyanido ligands are disordered over two orientations, head-to-tail and tail-to-head, with occupancies for C and N atoms varying for each CN group.
