Bis(acetato-O)[N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine-²N,N']copper(II)

J. C. Slootweg and P. Chen

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₂H₃O₂)₂(C₆H₁₆N₂)], the Cu^II atom is coordinated by two N atoms from the chelating N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine ligand and two O atoms from two acetate anions in a distorted square-planar geometry. In addition, there are longer contacts between Cu and the second O atom of each acetate ligand, which could be considered to complete a distorted octahedral geometry. The molecules in the crystal structure are connected via intermolecular C-HO hydrogen-bonding contacts.
