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

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu(2)(CH(3)COO)(4)(C(12)H(11)ClN(2))(2)], the complete binuclear mol­ecule is generated by a crystallographic centre of inversion; the four acetate groups 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 benzene ring, forming a dihedral angle of 33.9 (2)°. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond is present between the amino group and a carboxyl O atom. Inter­molecular inter­actions of the C—H⋯π type link mol­ecules in the crystal structure.
