Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 200 K; mean (C-C) = 0.003 Å; R factor = 0.027; wR factor = 0.074; data-to-parameter ratio = 14.9.The title dinuclear complex molecule, [Cu 2 (C 13 H 9 N 4 ) 2 (PF 6 ) 2 ], lies about an inversion center. The Cu II atom shows a squarepyramidal coordination geometry with the basal plane formed by four N atoms of the two bis-chelating 3,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazolate ions and with one F atom of the hexafluorophosphate ion in the apical position. Molecules are stacked in a column along the a axis through C-HÁ Á ÁF hydrogen bonds. The columns are further linked by other C-HÁ Á ÁF hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

The title dinuclear complex, [Fe2Br4(C13H9N4)2], which lies on an inversion center, features two approximately planar bis(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazole (bpypz−) ligands [maximum deviation = 0.082 (3) Å] and four bromide ions. Each FeIII ion is octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms of two bpypz− ligands and two Br ions. π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7004 (17)–4.0123 (18) Å] are observed between pyridyl and pyrazole rings, and between pyridyl and pyridyl rings of adjacent complex molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
