Abstract

The title complex, [Cu(3)Cl(5)(C(21)H(17)N(3)F(2))(2)], is the first reported copper trimer including both Cu(I) and Cu(II) ions. The two Cu(II) ions are five-coordinate in a significantly distorted square-pyramidal arrangement, with the bridging Cl atom located in the apical position, and the pyridine (py) N atom, the two imine N atoms and the other Cl atom located in the basal plane. The Cu(I) ion is in a trigonal planar configuration surrounded by three Cl atoms. The structure is stabilized by intra- and intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi(py) hydrogen bonds.
