Bis(μ-4,4;6,6-bis(biphenyl-2,2′-diyldioxy)-2,2-bis{2-[5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]phenoxy}cyclotriphosphazene)di-μ-chlorido-bis[chloridocopper(II)]

Abstract

In the crystal of the title compound, [Cu2Cl4(C50H32N9O8P3)2], the binuclear molecule is located across an inversion center. Each Cu2+ cation is coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from symmetry-related 4,4;6,6-bis(biphenyl-2,2′-diyldioxy)-2,2-bis{2-[5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]phenoxy}cyclotriphosphazene (L) ligands, a pair of bridging Cl− anions and a terminal Cl− anion, forming a distorted CuCl3N2 square-pyramidal geometry. Weak intramolecular C—H...O and intermolecular C—H...N interactions occur in the crystal.
