Abstract

The title thio-cyanate-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(2)(C(12)H(17)N(2)O(2))(2)(NCS)(2)], possesses crystallographic inversion symmetry. Each Cu(II) atom is five-coordinated by one imine N, one amine N and one phenolate O atom of the Schiff base ligand, and by two N atoms from two bridging thio-cyanate ligands, forming a square-pyramidal geometry. Beside the two thio-cyanate bridges, there are two intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which further link the two Cu(C(12)H(17)N(2)O(2))(NCS) units. The Cu⋯Cu separation is 3.261 (2) Å. Parts of the methylaminopropylimino segment are disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.669(9) and 0.331(9).
