(μ-Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde azine)bis[bis(triphenylphosphine-κP)copper(I)] bis(tetrafluoridoborate) dichloromethane disolvate

Abstract

In the centrosymmetric title complex, [Cu2(C12H10N4)(C18H15P)4](BF4)2·2CH2Cl2, the CuI atom adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry, defined by two P atoms from two triphenylphosphine ligands and two N atoms from a pyridine-2-carbaldehyde azine ligand. The two Cu atoms are bridged by the centrosymmetric pyridine-2-carbaldehyde azine ligand. The F atoms of the tetrafluoridoborate anion are disordered over two sites [occupancy factors = 0.68 (5) and 0.32 (5)]. The dichloromethane solvent molecule is disordered over four sites, with occupancy factors of 0.513 (4), 0.173 (5), 0.141 (5) and 0.173 (5).
