μ-1,6-Dioxo-1,6-di-phenyl-hexane-3,4-diolato-bis-[(2,2'-bi-pyridine)-chlorido-copper(II)] dihydrate.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of CuCl₂ with 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5,6-hexa-netetrone and 2,2'-bi-pyridine (bipy) in ethanol gave crystals of the corresponding bimetallic complex, [Cu₂(C₁₈H₁₂O₄)Cl₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·2H₂O. The mol-ecule is centrosymmetric with each Cu^II ion coordinated to two oxygen atoms from the tetronediate, two nitro-gen atoms from a bipy ligand and one coordinated chloride ion. A water mol-ecule of crystallization forms hydrogen bonds to the chloride ions, linking the mol-ecules into a chain parallel to the bc-face diagonal.
