Abstract: The title compound, di--hydroxo-bis[(1,1,4,7,7-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine)copper(II)] dibromide acetonitrile disolvate, [Cu₂(OH)₂(C₉H₂₃N₃)₂]Br₂·2CH₃CN, is the reaction product of CuBr with 1,1,4,7,7-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (pmdeta) in water-containing acetonitrile. The cation is the dimer of an asymmetrically hydroxo-bridged complex of copper(II) coordinated by 1,1,4,7,7-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine. The centrosymmetric structure contains distorted square-pyramidally coordinated Cu atoms.
