Description
Summary:The title compound, [Cu2(C18H19N3O2)2]·2C2H6OS or [Cu2(SalenN3H)2]·2DMSO, where SalenN3H is the multidentate Schiff base 2,2′-[(3-azapentane-1,5-diyl)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolate dianion and DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide, is a solvated dinuclear CuII complex. The neutral complex is built from two Cu(SalenN3H) units related by an inversion center. All heteroatoms in the Schiff bases coordinate the CuII ions, which display highly distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries. The solvent molecules are located in the structural voids of the complex and are disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.642 (15) and 0.358 (15). The previously characterized acetone disolvate of the same complex presents identical molecular and crystal structures, and crystallizes with cell parameters very close to those of the DMSO disolvate reported here.
