Abstract
The title compound, [Cu2(C31H30Cl2N4O4)Cl2]·CH3CN, was synthesized by cyclocondensation between N,N′-bis(2-furyl)-N,N′-bis(3-formyl-5-chlorosalicylaldehyde)ethylenediamine and 1,3-diaminopropane in the presence of CuII ions. It is an unsymmetrical dinuclear CuII complex. The coordination geometry for each CuII atom can be discribed as distorted square-pyramidal. The two Cu atoms are bridged by two phenolate O atoms with a Cu...Cu distance of 3.0274 (9) Å.
