Di-u-hydroxo-bis{(acetonitrile)dibenzyl(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)-amine-kappa2N,N]copper(II)} bis(perchlorate)

Acta Crystallogr C. 2005 Feb;61(Pt 2):m115-6. doi: 10.1107/S010827010500034X. Epub 2005 Jan 31.

Abstract

The title compound corresponds to a copper(II) dimer, [Cu2(OH)2(C2H3N)2(C21H22N2)2](ClO4)2, where the metal centres are mu2-bridged by hydroxo groups. The coordination of each copper(II) centre is a slightly distorted square-based pyramid, with two N atoms from dibenzyl(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)amine (BiBzMePMA) and two hydroxo O atoms occupying the basal positions, and the acetonitrile N atom at the apical position. The dimer is centrosymmetric, with a crystallographic inversion centre midway between the two Cu atoms [Cu...Cu = 2.9522 (9) A].
