Acetonitrilebis(2-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II) tetrafluoridoborate

S. P. Watton

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(CH₃CN)(C₁₃H₁₀N₂)₂](BF₄)₂, the fivefold-coordinate Cu^II atom is located on a twofold rotation axis, imposing twofold symmetry to the complete cation. The structure exhibits disorder of the anion, which was successfully refined using a two-site model with 0.810 (3):0.190 (3) occupancy. The methyl group of the acetonitrile ligand is likewise disordered, here about the twofold rotation axis in a 1:1 ratio.
