Tetra-[mu]-benzoato-[kappa]8O:O'-bis[(2-benzamidopyridine-[kappa]N1)copper(II)]

L.-J. Xiao and D.-Q. Wang

Abstract: The title complex, [Cu2(C7H5O2)4(C12H10N2O)2], forms a dimer of the paddle-wheel type located on a crystallographic inversion center. The two CuII atoms [Cu-Cu = 2.6377 (11) Å] are connected by four benzoate ligands. The apical positions of the square-pyramidal copper coordination polyhedra are occupied by the N atoms of 2-benzamidopyridine ligands. The crystal structure is stabilized by [pi]-[pi] stacking involving the phenyl and pyridine groups.
