Abstract:
The title compound, [Cu(C27H40BN6)2]*2CH2Cl2, contains a four-coordinate Cu(II) ion lying on a crystallographic inversion centre, giving rise to a near-regular square-planar stereochemistry. There is an axial contact of 2.71 A between the Cu ion and ligand B-H group, although this is unlikely to correspond to a significant 'agostic' interaction.
