Abstract

The reaction of copper powder in dmso with cadmium acetate hydrate and 2-dimethylaminoethanol (HL), in open air, afforded [Cd2Cu4(μ4-O)(O2CMe)6L4]·2H2O with a metal skeleton that approximates an octahedron. The copper atoms are tetrahedrally arranged about the oxygen atom in a considerably distorted fashion. The amino alkoxo and acetate ligands display a variety of bonding modes in the complex.
