Poly[bis(μ2-formato-κ2O:O′)(quinoxaline-κN)copper(II)]

Abstract

In the polymeric title copper(II) compound, [Cu(CHO2)2(C8H6N2)]n, both formato ligands are O-bidentate anions and act as bridging ligands, creating a planar polymeric arrangement. The slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination around CuII comprises four O atoms from two different formate anions as the base and a quinoxaline molecule in the apical position.
