{₂-1,4-Bis[2-(4-pyridyl)ethenyl]benzene-²N:N'}bis[bis(acetylacetonato-²O,O')copper(II)]

F.-F. Jian, J. Wang and J. Zhang

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu₂(C₅H₇O₂)₄(C₂₀H₁₆N₂)], contains half of a centrosymmetric dinuclear molecule. In the molecule, each Cu center is coordinated by four O atoms from two acetylacetonate ligands and one N atom from the bridging linear 1,4-bis[2-(4-pyridyl)ethenyl]benzene ligand in a square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds link molecules into sheets parallel to the bc plane.
