Abstract

The title dinuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu(2)(C(7)H(8)NO(2))(2)(C(7)H(9)NO(2))(2)](CH(3)COO)(2), has been synthesized by the reaction of Cu(CH(3)COO)(2).H(2)O with pdmH(2) (pdmH(2) is pyridine-2,6-diyldimethanol) in the presence of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. The title complex contains a centrosymmetric Cu(2)O(2) core and each Cu(II) atom has distorted octahedral geometry. Molecular [Cu(2)(pdmH)(2)(pdmH(2))](2+) cations are connected by hydrogen bonds involving the CH(3)COO(-) anions, forming one-dimensional chains along the a axis.
