Abstract
In the title compound, [Cu(C2H3O2)2(C6H16N2)], the CuII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from the chelating N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine ligand and two O atoms from two acetate anions in a distorted square-planar geometry. In addition, there are longer contacts between Cu and the second O atom of each acetate ligand, which could be considered to complete a distorted octahedral geometry. The molecules in the crystal structure are connected via intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding contacts.
