Description
Summary:The centrosymmetric binuclear complex, [Cu2(C13H13N2O)2(NCS)2], formed via phenolate oxygen bridges, involves the CuII atoms in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination [τ = 0.197 (1)]. A Cu...Cu separation of 3.2281 (3) Å is observed. The in-plane Cu—Ophenolate distance [1.9342 (8) Å] is shorter than the axial distance [2.252 (8) Å]. The Cu—Namine and Cu—Npy distances are similar [2.0095 (10) and 2.0192 (10) Å, respectively]. The Cu—Nthiocyanate distance [1.9678 (11) Å] is in the range found for Cu—N distances in previously determined structures containing coordinated thiocyanate anions. There is an intermolecular hydrogen bond between the amine H atom and the S atom of a coordinated thiocyanate anion.
