Catena-Poly[[tetra-kis(μ(2)-acetato-κO:O')dicopper(II)(Cu-Cu)]-μ(2)-acetato-κO:O'-[bis-[μ(2)-3-(dimethyl-amino)propan-1-olato]-κN,O:O;κO:N,O-bis-[(tetra-hydro-furan-κO)copper(II)]]-μ(2)-acetato-κO:O'].

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [Cu(4)(C(5)H(12)NO)(2)(C(2)H(3)O(2))(6)(C(4)H(8)O)(2)](n), consists of dinuclear [Cu(2)(C(5)H(12)NO)(2)(THF)(2)] (THF is tetra-hydro-furan) and [Cu(2)(CH(3)COO)(4)] units linked through acetate ions, generating parallel one-dimensional polymeric chains propagating in the [10] direction. In the first dinuclear unit, Cu(II) ions related by inversion symmetry are bridged by two 3-(dimethyl-amino)propan-1-olate ligands. Likewise, a pair of inversion-related Cu(II) ions are bridged by four acetate groups. The crystallographically independent Cu centers are linked to one another by a single bridging acetate group, generating an infinite chain. The distorted square-pyramidal coordination of the first metal center is completed with an apical THF mol-ecule, with a long Cu-O bond
