The title compound, [Cu(C3H6NO2)2] n , is a bis-complex of the anion of sarcosine (N-methyl-glycine). The asymmetric unit consists of a copper(II) ion, located on a center of inversion, and one mol-ecule of the uninegative sarcosinate anion. The copper(II) ion exhibits a typical Jahn-Teller distorted [4 + 2] coordination geometry. The four shorter equatorial bonds are to the nitro-gen and carboxyl-ate O atoms of two sarcosinate anions, and the longer axial bonds are to carboxyl-ate O atoms of ne ...[more]
