Di-μ-iodido-bis[(dimethyl 2,2′-biquinoline-4,4′-dicarboxylate-κ2N,N′)copper(I)]

Abstract

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title complex, [Cu2I2(C22H16N2O4)2], the CuI atom is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by an N,N′-bidentate dimethyl 2,2′-biquinoline-4,4′-dicarboxylate ligand and two symmetry-related I atoms, which act as bridges to a symmetry-related CuI atom. The distance between the CuI atoms within the dinuclear unit is 2.6723 (11) Å.
