Tetra­kisμ-2-(3-phenoxy­phen­yl)propionato-κ2 O:O′bis­(dimethyl­formamide-κO)copper(II)

摘要

The title compound, [Cu2(C15H13O3)4(C3H7NO)2], is formed by the chelate coordination of four racemic fenoprofenate (fenoprofenate is 2,3-phenoxyphenyl propionate) anions and two dimethyl­formamide mol­ecules to two copper(II) ions, building a paddle-wheel dinuclear mol­ecule. The distorted square-pyramidal coordination of each Cu^II atom is made up of four O atoms of the four fenoprofenate units and another O atom from a dimethyl­formamide mol­ecule. The two enanti­omeric forms of the fenoprofenate anions are present in the complex, in an optically inactive centrosymmetric arrangement.
