Bis­{(E)-3-[2-(hy­droxy­imino)­propan­amido]-2,2-dimethyl­propan-1-aminium} bis[μ-(E)-N-(3-amino-2,2-dimethyl­prop­yl)-2-(hy­droxy­imino)­propanamido­(2−)]bis­{[(E)-N-(3-amino-2,2-dimethyl­prop­yl)-2-(hy­droxy­imino)­propanamide]­copper(II)} bis­((E)-{3-[2-(hy­droxy­imino)­propanamido]-2,2-dimethyl­prop­yl}carbamate) acetonitrile disolvate

The reaction between copper(II) nitrate and (E)-N-(3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-prop-yl)-2-(hy-droxy-imino)-propanamide led to the formation of the dinuclear centrosymmetric copper(II) title complex, (C8H18N3O2)2[Cu2(C8H15N3O2)2(C8H17N3O2)2](C9H16N3O4)2·2CH3CN, in which an inversion center is located at the midpoint of the Cu2 unit in the center of the neutral [Cu2(C8H15N3O2)2(C8H17N3O2)2] complex fragment. The Cu(2+) ions are connected by two N-O bridging groups [Cu⋯Cu separation = 4.0608 (5) Å] while the Cu(II) ions are five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal N4O coordination environment. The complex mol-ecule co-crystallizes with two mol-ecules of acetonitrile, two mol-ecules of the protonated ligand (E)-3-[2-(hy-droxy-imino)-propanamido]-2,2-dimethyl-propan-1-aminium and two negatively charged (E)-{3-[2-(hy-droxy-imino)-propanamido]-2,2-dimethyl-prop-yl}carbamate anions, which were probably formed as a result of condensation between (E)-N-(3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-prop-yl)-2-(hy-droxy-imino)-propanamide and hydro-gencarbonate anions. In the crystal, the complex fragment [Cu2(C8H15N3O2)2(C8H17N3O2)2] and the ion pair C8H18N3O2(+.)C9H16N3O4(-) are connected via an extended system of hydrogen bonds.
