Bis(1H-benzimidazole-[kappa]N3)bis(4-methylbenzoato-[kappa]2O,O')copper(II)

W.-D. Song, X.-H. Huang and H. Wang

Abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [Cu(C8H7O2)2(C7H6N2)2], the CuII atom lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two O atoms of two monodentate 4-methylbenzoate ligands and two N atoms of two benzimidazole ligands in a square-planar geometry. The molecules are linked into chains running parallel to the b axis by intermolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonds and by [pi]-[pi] stacking interactions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.669 (2) Å] involving centrosymmetrically related imidazole rings.
