Abstract:
A dinuclear copper(II) complex of the type [Cu2(2-nb)4(MeOH)2] (2-nb = 2-nitrobenzoate) has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The compound belongs to monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 19.9374(10) ٫ b = 21.1404(11) ٫c = 7.6533(4) Å, α = 90٫ β = 96.817(3)٫ γ = 90º٫ V = 3246.8(3) Å 3٫ Z = 4٫ F(000) = 1736.0.0٫ Dc = 1.774Mg/m3, μ = 1.422 mm-1. The Cu(II) complex is a cocrystal containing two inorganic units. Each Cu(II) adopted square pyramidal geometry.
