Abstract
Green, needle-shaped crystals of copper acetate mono-α-picoline, Cu(ac)2-(α-pic), crystallize in space groupP21/c with cell dimensionsa=7.675(4),b=20.008(6),c=8.207(4)Å, and β=115.99(3) °. The crystal structure has been solved by the heavy-atom method and refined with the three-dimensional x-ray photographic data to anR factor of 9.2%. The structure consists of binuclear units Cu2(ac)4(α-pic)2. The Cu-Cu distance is 2.671 Å. The bond length Cu-N (2.24 Å) is significantly longer than the corresponding distance in analogous complexes.
