Bis(2,2'-bi-1H-imidazole-κN,N)bis-(4-methyl-benzoato-κO)copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In title compound, [Cu(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(4))(2)], the Cu(II) atom (site symmetry ) is coordinated by two N,N'-bidentate 2,2'-biimidazole ligands and two weakly bonded 4-methyl-benzoate anions, resulting in a strongly elongated trans-CuO(2)N(4) octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked via pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains propagating in [010].
