Tetra­kis(μ(2)-phenyl­acetato-κ(2) O:O′)bis­[(isoquinoline-κN)copper(II)]

In the title centrosymmetric binuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu(2)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(4)(C(9)H(7)N)(2)], the two Cu cations are bridged by four carboxyl­ate groups of the phenyl­acetate anions; each Cu cation is further coordinated by an isoquinoline ligand to complete the distorted CuO(4)N square-pyramidal geometry. The Cu cation is displaced by 0.2092 (8) Å from the basal plane formed by the four O atoms. Within the dinuclear mol­ecule, the Cu⋯Cu separation is 2.6453 (6) Å. Although a parallel, overlapped arrangement of isoquinoline ligands exists in the crystal structure; the longer face-to-face distance of 3.667 (5) Å suggests there is no π–π stacking between isoquinoline ring systems.
