STRUCTURE OF MU-CHLORO-BIS(BIS[2-(2-PYRIDYL)ETHYLAMINE-N,N']COPPER(II)) TRISHEXAFLUOROPHOSPHATE

[{Cu(C7H10N2)2}2Cl](PF6)3, (3), M(r) = 1086.12, monoclinic, C2/m, a = 16.428 (4), b = 12.721 (3), c = 12.526 (6) angstrom, beta = 114.53 (3)-degrees, V = 2381.7 (2) angstrom3, Z = 2, D(x) = 1.51 g cm-3, lambda(Mo Kalpha) = 0.71069 angstrom, mu = 23.04 cm-1, F(000)=1092, T = 293 K, R = 0.065 and wR = 0.095 for 1425 unique diffractometer data with I > 3sigma(I). The structure reveals a dimer molecule with a mu-Cl atom linking two Cu(II) atoms with a linear bridge. The coordination geometry around the Cu atoms is square-based pyramidal.
