Di-μ-acetato-κ(4)O:O-bis-({N'-[(E)-phen-yl-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)methyl-idene]benzo-hydrazidato-κ(2)N',O}copper(II)).
The binuclear molecule of the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(19)H(14)N(3)O)(2)(CH(3)COO)(2)], resides on a crystallographic inversion centre. It has an E conformation with respect to the azomethine double bond and a Z conformation about the amide C=N bond. The Cu(II) atom has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The crystal packing involves inter-molecular C-H⋯O, C-H⋯N and C-H⋯π and two types of π-π inter-actions, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.9958 (10) and 3.7016 (13) Å.
