Crystal structure of bis­[μ-S-hexyl 3-(2-oxido­benzyl­idene)di­thio­carbazato-κ(4) O,N (3),S:O]dicopper(II)

The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(14)H(18)N(2)OS(2))(2)], is a binuclear copper(II) complex of an oxybenzyl­idenedi­thio­carbazate ligand. The ligand coordinates in a tridentate manner through N-, S- and O-donor atoms. Each O atom also bridges to a second Cu(II) ion to form the binuclear species. It has a central Cu(2)O(2) rhomboid moiety and a metal-to-metal separation of 2.9923 (6) Å. In the crystal, the binuclear complexes stack along the a axis with all the hexyl chains located side-by-side, forming a hydro­phobic region. The complexes are linked via C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the c-axis direction. One Cu(II) atom has the S atom of a symmetry-related complex located approximately in the apical position at 2.9740 (11) Å. This weak inter­action links the chains to form slabs parallel to the ac plane.
