Abstract
The title compound, di-μ-hydroxo-bis[(1,1,4,7,7-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine)copper(II)] dibromide acetonitrile disolvate, [Cu2(OH)2(C9H23N3)2]Br2·2CH3CN, is the reaction product of CuBr with 1,1,4,7,7-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (pmdeta) in water-containing acetonitrile. The cation is the dimer of an asymmetrically hydroxo-bridged complex of copper(II) coordinated by 1,1,4,7,7-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine. The centrosymmetric structure contains distorted square-pyramidally coordinated Cu atoms.
