title: Bis(2-{[bis-(dimethyl-amino)-methyl-idene]amino-κN}benzene-sulfonato-κN)copper(II).
abstract: The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Cu(C11H16N3O3S)2], shows the Cu(II) atom with a distorted square-planar coordination geometry from the N2O2 donor set of the two chelating 2-{[bis-(dimethyl-amino)-methyl-idene]amino}-benzene-sulfonate ligands. The Cu(II) atom lies 0.065 (1) Å above the N2O2 plane and the Cu-O [2 × 1.945 (2) Å] and Cu-N bond lengths [1.968 (3) and 1.962 (3) Å] lie in expected ranges. The two aromatic ring planes make a dihedral angle of 85.48 (1)°.
