The complete dinuclear molecule of the title complex, [Cu2(CH3COO)4(C10H8N2O)2], is generated by a centre of inversion. The CuII atom is in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry defined by four O atoms derived from four bridging acetate ligands, a terminally connected pyrimidine N atom and a Cu atom.

2-Phenoxypyrimidine (1.1 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (15 ml), added to trimethyl orthoformate (10 ml) and the mixture then heated to 50°C. Copper acetate (0.5 mmol) dissolved in acetonitrile (15 ml) was added to the solution. The green precipitate that formed was collected and recrystallized from acetonitrile to give green crystals.
Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions (C—H 0.95–0.98 Å) and were treated as riding on their parent carbon atoms, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5 times Ueq(C). The maximum and minimum residual electron density peaks of 1.83 and 0.55 e Å-3, respectively, were located 1.42 Å and 0.44 Å from the H6 and Cu atoms, respectively.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

It was in connection with recent structural studies of tetrakisacetatobis[(N-donor)copper(II)] complexes (Fairuz et al., 2010a; Fairuz et al., 2010b), that the crystal structure of the title complex, (I), was investigated. The complex, Fig. 1, is centrosymmetric and features four symmetrically bridging acetate ligands and two terminally connected N atoms from the 2-phenoxypyrimidine ligands, Table 1. The Cu—Cu distance is 2.6154 (10) Å. The resulting CuNO4 donor set defines a distorted octahedral geometry. The 2-phenoxypyrimidine ligand is twisted with the dihedral angle between the pyrimidyl and benzene rings being 63.3 (3)°.
