Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(5)HF(6)O(2))(4)(C(11)H(9)NO)(2)], contains one half of the centrosymmetric dinuclear complex. The coordination geometry of the Cu(II) atom is octa-hedral, exhibiting a typical Jahn-Teller distortion. One trifluoro-methyl group is rotationally disordered between two orientations in a 1:1 ratio.
