Di-μ-chlorido-bis­[(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ3N,N′,N′′)copper(II)] bis­(tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate)

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the centrosymmetric complex [Cu(terpy)2Cl2](OTF)2 consists of a CuII metal center in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with π–π stacking inter­actions contributing to the crystal packing. In the centrosymmetric title complex, [Cu2Cl2(C15H11N3)2](CF3O3S)2, the CuII metal center is fivefold coordinated by two chloride ions and three nitro­gen atoms of the terpyridine ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry; two tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate ions complete the outer coordination sphere. π–π stacking inter­actions between the pyridyl rings in adjacent mol­ecules contribute to the alignment of the complexes in columns along the a-axis. This structure represents the first example of a binuclear dication of formula [Cu(terpy)2Cl2]2+ with tri­fluoro­methane­sulfo
