Abstract

The title compound [Cu2(μ-NO2)(aepy) 4](ClO4)3 (Cu2C28H 40N9Cl3O14, Mr = 960.12, aepy = 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine) was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with cell parameters: a = 21.958(3), b = 12.205(2), c = 15.180(3) Å, β= 106.06(1)°, V = 3909.5(12) Å3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.631 g/cm3, F(000) = 1968 and μ(MoKα) = 1.368 mm-1. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques. The final R = 0.0734 and wR = 0.1954 for 1606 observed reflections with I ≥2.0σ(I). The crystal structure revealed that the [Cu2(μ-NO2)(aepy)4] 3+ cation consists of two square-based pyramidal copper (II) atoms bridged by one nitrate anion. The distance between the two copper atoms (Cu(1)⋯Cu(1A)) is 5.373 (2) Å.
