Abstract

Copper(II) benzoate reacts with 2-dimethylaminoethanol in ethanol forming a green copper(II) complex, (C 4 H 12 NO) 2 [Cu 2 (C 7 H 5 O 2 ) 6 ]. The two Cu atoms, with a Cu...Cu distance of 2.670 (2)A in the centrosymmetric molecule, are held together by the four carboxylate groups. Each Cu atom is bound in a square-pyramidal configuration to five carboxylate O atoms. The (2-hydroxyethyl)dimethylammonium cation is hydrogen bonded to the uncoordinated O atom of the unidentate carboxylate group.
