COPPER(II) COORDINATION-COMPOUNDS - CLASSIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC AND STRUCTURAL DATA - III - DIMERIC COMPOUNDS

This review summarizes the data for over nine hundred dimeric Cu(II) c oordination compounds. There are several types of the bridges, from wh ich doubly bridges by far prevail. The most common ligands are O- and N- donors. From the stereochemical point of view, a square-pyramidal a rrangement with different degrees of distortion about Cu(II), is the m ost common. Several relationships were found between the Cu-Cu distanc es and the Cu-L-Cu bridge angle and the type of bridging, between the intra-ligand L-Cu-L ring angles and coordination numbers.
