Bis[[mu]-(di-2-pyridyl ketone thiosemicarbazonato-N¹,N'',S:N')]bis[(isothiocyanato-N)copper(II)] Bis(dimethylformamide) Solvate

In the title compound, [Cu₂(NCS)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₅S)₂].2C₃H₇NO, derived from the tetradentate ligand di-2-pyridyl ketone thiosemicarbazone, the coordination geometry about each Cu^II atom is distorted square pyramidal, with one pyridine N atom, the S atom and the imino N atom from the thiosemicarbazone ligand, together with the N atom from thiocyanato ligand, in the basal plane; a pyridyl N atom of an adjacent moiety occupies the apical position, serving as a bridge to form a centrosymmetric dimeric structure.
