title: Bis{μ-N-[(dimethyl-amino)-dimethyl-sil-yl]-2,6-dimethyl-anilido}-κN:N';κN':N-dicopper(I).
abstract: The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(12)H(21)N(2)Si)(2)], is a binuclear Cu(I) complex. The dimeric mol-ecule has an inversion center located at the mid-point of the Cu-Cu bond [Cu-Cu = 2.7209 (7) Å]. The bidentate ligand behaves in an N:N'-bridging mode, coordinating the metal atoms. The N-Cu-N unit is close to being linear [176.60 (8)°]. The two N atoms exhibit different affinities for the metal atom. The Cu-N(amino) bond is longer than the Cu-N(anilido) bond by 0.079 Å. The core of the mol-ecule, the [Cu-N-Si-N](2) eight-membered ring, adopts a chair configuration.
