In the crystal structure of the title binuclear complex, [Cu2(CH3COO)4(C13H14N2)2], the four acetate groups each bridge a pair of CuII atoms. The coordination of the metal atoms is distorted square-pyramidal, with the bonding O atoms comprising a square basal plane and the coordinating N atom of the N-heterocycle occupying the apical position. In the two N-hetercycle ligands, the benzene rings are twisted with respect to the pyridine rings, making dihedral angles of 53.1 (2) and 54.2 (2)°. Intra­molecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding is present between the imino and carb­oxy groups. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a minor twin component of 21.4%.

Experimental top

Copper acetate (0.1 g, 0.5 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (5 ml). The solution was mixed with a solution of 4-methyl-2-(m-tolylamino)pyridine (0.2 g, 1.1 mmol) dissolved in acetonitrile (15 ml). The green precipitate that formed was recrystallized from acetonitrile to give greenish-blue crystals.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.93–0.96 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5U(C). The imino H-atoms were similarly treated. The final difference Fourier map had a peak in the vicinity of H14b.

The structure is a non-merohedral twin. Another crystal that was examined also show twinning. The diffraction data were detwinned by using PLATON (Spek, 2003).
