Structural formula of inositol + Cu(OH)2 complex?

[sufler]

Hello.

In my lab class I was conducting an experiment connected with detecting polyhydroxyl alcohols with Cu(OH)2 solution (It makes a violet solution if many hydroxyl groups are present).

But in my lab report I am told to draw the structural formula of the complex compound that forms when we add Cu(OH)2 to inositol solution...
What will it look like? Will there be a Cu atom for every pair of OH groups in inositol ring? Or one Cu atom will bond 4 OH groups from two inositol molecules?

I incline to the other idea, my formula sketch is attached. Is this right?

Sorry I can't help further with your cupric hydroxide reaction, but I believe your search may be enhanced if you use the term

 

polyhydric alcohol.
