Crystal structure of bis#173;(#956;2-4-tert-butyl-2-formyl#173;phenolato)-1:2#954;3O1,O2:O1;3:4#954;3O1,O2:O1-bis#173;(4-tert-butyl-2-formyl#173;phenolato)-2#954;2O1,O2;4#954;2O1,O2-di-#956;3-methoxido-1:2:3#954;3O;1:3:4#954;3O-di-#956;2-methoxido-1:4#954;2O;2:3#954;2O-tetra#173;copper(II)
The structure of the title compound, Cu4(CH3O)4(C11H13O2)4, consists of dimeric dinuclear copper(II) complexes oriented around a centre of inversion. Within each dinuclear fragment, the two CuII atoms are in a distorted square-planar coordination sphere. Two neighbouring fragments are linked by four apical Cu#8212;O contacts, yielding an overall square-pyramidal coordination environment for each of the four CuII atoms. The mol#173;ecules are arranged in layers parallel to (101). Non-classical C#8212;H#8943;O hydrogen-bonding inter#173;actions are observed between the layers.
