Di-?-perchlorato-bis-{?-2-[(2-pyrid-yl)methyl-amino-meth-yl]phenolato)dicopper(II) acetonitrile disolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the crystal of the dinuclear title compound, [Cu(2)(C(13)H(13)N(2)O)(2)(ClO(4))(2)]·2CH(3)CN, the two bridging perchlorate ions chelate to the two Cu(II) atoms in a ?-O:O' fashion on opposite sides of the equatorial plane. The Cu(II) ions display a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry (in the usual 4 + 2 Jahn-Teller arrangement), each being coordinated by two O atoms from the two perchlorate ligands, and two N and O atoms from the reduced Schiff base ligand. The asymmetric unit contains two acetonitrile solvent mol-ecules. In the crystal structure, in addition to N-H?O hydrogen bonds, there are weak C-H?O inter-actions between the perchlorate O atoms and the reduced Schiff base ligand. C-H?N inter-actions are also present.
