✦ Synopsis
The title compound, [Cu 2 (C 5 H 9 O 2 ) 4 (C 5 H 5 N) 2 ], consists of centrosymmetric binuclear cage units with four dimethylpropanoate bridges linking the two Cu centres [CuÁ Á ÁCu = 2.6229 (9) A ˚]. The square-pyramidal Cu coordination is completed by a pyridine N atom at the apical site. Astacking interaction helps to consolidate the crystal packing.
