title: Tetra-μ-acetato-bis-[(pyridine N-oxide)copper(II)](Cu-Cu).
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title binuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(2)(CH(3)COO)(4)(C(5)H(5)NO)(2)], occupies a special position on a crystallographic inversion centre; the coordination environment of the Cu(II) atom is slightly distorted square-pyramidal and is made up of four O atoms belonging to four acetate groups in the basal plane with the O atom of pyridine N-oxide ligand in the apical position. The Cu-Cu distance is 2.6376 (6) Å.
