Mu2-acetato-kappa(2)O:O'-tris(mu2-ferrocenecarboxylato-kappa(2)O:O')bis[(N,N-dimethylformamide-kappaO)copper(II)].
The title compound, [Cu(2)Fe(3)(C(5)H(5))(3)(C(2)H(3)O(2))(C(6)H(4)O(2))(3)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)], belongs to the classic dimeric paddle-wheel structure type. It is an unusual example in that it contains two different carboxylate groups, viz. ferrocenecarboxylate and acetate. With three ferrocenecarboxylate groups and only one acetate group bridging the two Cu centres, a noncentrosymmetric molecular arrangement results.
