Abstract

The reaction of 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) with [Cu2(O2CMe)4(H2O)2] in ethanol follwed by NH4PF6 yields an unique trinuclear copper(II) species, [Cu3(O2CMe)4(H2O)(bipy)3][PF6]2, the crystal structure of which shows the smallest monoatomic acetate bridge Cu-O-Cu angle of 92.9(1)° and four different acetate co-ordination modes; in methanol glass at 77 K it exhibits an X-band ESR spectrum characteristic of a strongly coupled dicopper(II) unit and a normal copper(II) centre.
