Tetra-μ-acetato-κ(8) O:O′-bis­{[4-methyl-N-(4-methyl­phen­yl)pyridin-2-amine-κN (1)]copper(II)}

The title complex, [Cu(2)(CH(3)COO)(4)(C(13)H(14)N(2))(2)], features a binuclear mol­ecule, which lies about a crystallographic centre of inversion; the four acetate ions each bridge a pair of Cu(II) atoms. The coordination of the metal atom is distorted octa­hedral within a donor set defined by four O atoms, the heterocyclic N atom and the second Cu atom. The pyridine ring is twisted with respect to the tolyl ring and forms a dihedral angle of 35.34 (9)°. A bifurcated N—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bond is present, linking the amine group to two carboxyl­ate O atoms derived from different acetate ions. In the crystal, C—H⋯π inter­actions link mol­ecules into a supra­molecular array in the bc plane.
