Tetra­kis[μ(2)-5-nitro-2-(phenyl­sulfan­yl)benzoato-κ(2) O:O′]bis­[(aceto­nitrile-κN)copper(II)]

The title compound, [Cu(2)(μ(2)-O(2)CC(12)H(8)NO(2)S)(4)(CH(3)CN)(2)], consists of a dinuclear and centrosymmetric complex based on two Cu(II) atoms coordinated by four 5-nitro-2-phenyl­sulfanyl-benzoate anions and two aceto­nitrile ligands. Each benzoate anion acts as a bis-monodentate ligand while each aceto­nitrile acts as a monodentate ligand, leading to a square-pyramidal NO(4) coordination environment for each Cu(II) atom with the aceto­nitrile N atom at the apex. The intra­molecular Cu⋯Cu distance in the dimer is 2.6478 (3) Å. The cohesion of the crystal structure is ensured by ((phen­yl))C—H⋯O((nitro)) hydrogen bonds and ((phen­yl))C—H⋯π inter­actions.
