Bis(acetonitrile-κN)[(1RS,4RS,8SR,11SR)-1,4,8,11-tetraazatetradecane-κ4N]copper(II) bis{tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate} 0.31-hydrate
Abstract
The title compound, [Cu(C2H3N)2(C10H24N4)](C32H12BF24)2·0.31H2O, crystallizes as an ionic species with no interactions between the ions. The [CuII(cyclam)(MeCN)2]2+ dication (cyclam is 1,4,8,11-tetraazatetradecane), located on a 2/m symmetry site, forms as a distorted octahedral species with four Cu—Ncyclam bonds of 2.013 (2) Å and two C—NMeCN bonds of 2.499 (4) Å. The [B{C6H3(CF3)-3,5}4]− anion, located on a twofold axis, is a distorted octahedral species. A small amount of water is present, occupying sites between columns of ions.
