Synthesis and structural characterization of hexa-μ2-chlorido-μ4-oxido-tetra­kis­{[4-(phenyl­ethyn­yl)pyridine-κN]copper(II)} di­chloro­methane monosolvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu4Cl6O(C13H9N)4]·CH2Cl2, the core mol­ecular structure consists of a Cu4 tetra­hedron with a central inter­stitial O atom. Each edge of the Cu4 tetra­hedron is bridged by a chlorido ligand. Each copper(II) cation is coordinated to the central O atom, two chlorido ligands and one N atom of the 4-phenyl­ethynyl­pyridine ligand. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl inter­actions. Furthermore, C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions also connect the mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the packing arrangement are from H⋯H and C⋯H/H⋯C inter­actions.
