Bis[2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)acetonitrile-κN 3] dibromidocopper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [CuBr2(C8H6N4)2], the CuII atom is located on an inversion centre and the asymmetric unit comprises one half-mol-ecule. The Cu atom is coordinated by two Br ions and two N atoms in approximately square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C - H⋯Br hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions between benzotriazole rings (centroid-centroid distance = 3.651 Å) generate a three-dimensional network.
