Catena-Poly[bis-(μ3-2-phenyl-acetato-κ(3) O,O':O)bis-(μ2-2-phenyl-acetato-κ(2) O:O')dicopper(II)(Cu-Cu)].

ABSTRACT: The title polymeric compound, [Cu2(C8H7O2)4] n , was synthesized by the reaction of copper acetate with aqueous phenyl-acetic acid. The unique Cu(II) atom is coordinated by five O atoms from the carboxyl-ate groups of phenyl-acetate ligands, and the strongly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment is completed by a Cu-Cu bond of 2.581 (2) Å, at whose mid-point is located an inversion centre. The crystal structure consists of infinite polymeric linear chains of Cu(2+) ions, running along [100], linked by bridging phenyl-acetate groups.
