Acta Crystallogr C. 2001 Apr;57(Pt 4):363-5. doi: 10.1107/s0108270100020503.

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C(2)N(3))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]BF(4), the Cu(II) atom shows distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, with the dicyanamido ligand in the equatorial plane. The two out-of-plane Cu-N bond lengths to bipyridine are 2.006 (3) and 1.998 (3) A, whereas the in-plane Cu-N distances are 2.142 (3) and 2.043 (3) A to the bipyridine, and 2.015 (3) A to the dicyanamide.
