Two coordination modes of Cu(II) in a binuclear complex with N-(pyridin-2-yl-carbon-yl)pyridine-2-carboxamidate ligands.

ABSTRACT: In the title dinuclear complex, (acetonitrile-1κN)[μ-N-(pyri-din-2-ylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboxamidato-1:2κ(5)N,N',N'':O,O'][N-(pyridin-2-ylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboxamidato-2κ(3)N,N',N'']bis(trifluoromethanesulfonato-1κO)dicopper(II), [Cu(2)(C(12)H(8)N(3)O(2))(2)(CF(3)O(3)S)(2)(CH(3)CN)], one of the Cu(II) ions is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal N(3)O(2) environment provided by two N-(pyridin-2-ylcarbon-yl)pyridine-2-carboxamidate (bpca) ligands, while the second Cu(II) ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral N(4)O(2) environment provided by one bpca ligand, two trifluoro-methansulfonate ligands and one acetonitrile mol-ecule. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances of 3.6799 (15) and 3.
