Bis[1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)propane-κ2 N, N′]copper(II) dinitrate methanol disolvate.

In the title compound, [Cu(C17H16N4)2](NO3)2·2C2H5OH, the CuII ion lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and is in a distorted square-planar coordination geometry formed by four N atoms from two 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)propane ligands. The N—Cu—N angles range from 90.25 (7) to 144.89 (11)°. In the crystal structure, a two-dimensional framework is formed by a combination of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
