Bis(μ-azido-κ2N,N)bis({2-[3-(dimethylamino)propyliminomethyl]-4-nitrophenolato-κ3O,N,N′}copper(II))

Abstract

The title complex, [Cu2(N3)2(C12H16N3O3)2], is an azide-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex. There is a crystallographic inversion centre at the mid-point of the Cu⋯Cu vector. Each Cu atom is coordinated by one O and two N atoms of one Schiff base ligand and two bridging N atoms from two azide ligands, forming a trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. The Cu⋯Cu distance is 3.327 (2) A.
