STRUCTURE OF CATENA-POLY(BIS[4,4,4-TRIFLUORO-1-(2-THIENYL)-1,3-BUTANEDIONATO-KAPPA-2O,O']COPPER-MU-(4,4'-BIPYRIDINE)-KAPPA-N-KAPPA-N')-N,N-DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE (1/2)

[Cu(C8H4F3O2S)2(C10H8N2)].2C3H7NO, M(r) = 808.25, triclinic, PlBAR, a = 9.637 (2), b = 9.820 (2), c = 11.505 (2) angstrom, alpha = 73.40 (1), beta = 65.41 (1), gamma = 69.29 (1)-degrees, V = 913.76 (3) angstrom3, Z = 1, D(x) = 1.469 g cm-3, lambda-(Mo K-alpha) = 0.71073 angstrom, mu = 7.82 cm-1, F(000) = 413, T = 293 K, R = 0.064, wR = 0.064 for 2956 observed [I greater-than-or-equal-to 3-sigma-(I)] reflections. The Cu(II) complex has a chain structure with a repeated unit of bis[4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedionato-kappa-2O,O']copper-mu-(4,4'-bipyridine)-kappa-N:kappa-N'. Each copper(II) ion has a slightly distorted octahedral environment, the basal plane is composed of O atoms of two 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedionato-O,O' groups, and the axial positions are occupied by two N atoms of two 4,4'-bipyridine moieties, respectively.
