Abstract The structure of the Cu(II) complex of gly-l-tyr [Cu(C11N2O4H13) (H2O)2]·2H2O has been solved by X-ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space groupP212121 witha=11.970(2) Å,b=12.485(2) Å andc=10.418(3) Å, respectively, λ(MoKα)=0.710 Å,D c =1.59 Mgm−3,D m =1.59 Mgm−3, finalR=0.04. The structure was solved by heavy atom (Cu) phased Fourier and refined by full-matrix least squares methods. The coordination geometry of the ligand around the Cu(II) ion has been established as a distorted tetragonal pyramid. The peptide molecule behaves as a tridentate ligand via its amino (N2), amido (N1) nitrogens and carboxyl (O2) oxygens. The peptide nitrogen is found to be deprotonated.
