(4,4′-Di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine-κ2N,N′)bis(nitrato-κ2O,O′)copper(II)

Abstract

In the crystal of the title compound, [Cu(NO3)2(C18H24N2)], the CuII ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the bipyridine ligand and four O atoms from the two nitrate anions in a distorted octahedral fashion. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two pyridine rings is 11.52 (10)°. In the crystal structure, weak C—H...O interactions may help to establish the packing.
