title: Bis(micro-di-2-pyridylaminato 1-oxide)bis[(trifluoroacetato)copper(II)] acetonitrile disolvate.
abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(2)F(3)O(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(3)O)(2)].2CH(3)CN, contains discrete [Cu(2)(CF(3)COO)(2)(O-dpa)(2)] molecules (O-dpaH is di-2-pyridylamine 1-oxide) which have imposed crystallographic twofold symmetry and an acetonitrile molecule of solvation. The O-dpa(-) ligand is both bidentate and bridging, linking two Cu atoms with a separation of 3.4270 (11) A. Each Cu atom is surrounded by four coordinated atoms that are almost coplanar, with dimensions Cu-N = 1.940 (2) and 1.984 (3) A, and Cu-O = 1.912 (2) and 1.945 (2) A.
