{μ(2)-1,4-Bis[2-(4-pyrid-yl)ethen-yl]benzene-κN:N'}bis-[bis-(acetyl-acetonato-κO,O')copper(II)].

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(5)H(7)O(2))(4)(C(20)H(16)N(2))], contains half of a centrosymmetric dinuclear mol-ecule. In the mol-ecule, each Cu center is coordinated by four O atoms from two acetyl-acetonate ligands and one N atom from the bridging linear 1,4-bis-[2-(4-pyrid-yl)ethen-yl]benzene ligand in a square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into sheets parallel to the bc plane.
