title: Di-μ2-chlorido-dichloridobis(dimethylformamide)tetrakis[μ3-1-(2-oxidobenzoyl)-2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethanethioyl)hydrazine-1,2-diido]octacopper(II) dimethylformamide disolvate.
abstract: The title compound, [Cu8(C15H10N3O3S)4Cl4(C3H7NO)2]·2C3H7NO, consisting of eight Cu(II) cations, four trianionic 1-(2-oxidobenzoyl)-2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethanethioyl)hydrazine-1,2-diide ligands, four chloride ligands and two coordinated and two solvent dimethylformamide molecules, crystallizes with the octanuclear molecule located on an inversion centre. The two halves of the molecule are connected by two bridging Cl atoms. This is the first example of an octanuclear complex based on a thiosemicarbazone-derived ligand.
