Catena-Poly[bis-(μ(4)-adipato-1:2:1':2'κO:O:O:O)bis-(N,N-dimethyl-formamide)-1κO,2κO-dicopper(II)].

ABSTRACT: In the title polymeric complex, [Cu(2)(C(6)H(8)O(4))(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)](n), the carboxyl-ate groups of the approximately U-shaped adipate dianion each bridge a pair of inversion-related, DMF-coordinated copper(II) atoms, generating a ribbon motif that runs along the b axis. The geometry of the copper(II) atom is distorted square-pyramidal; the apical site is occupied by the O atom of the DMF mol-ecule whereas the four basal sites are occupied by carboxyl-ate O atoms.
