Green, needle-shaped crystals of copper acetate mono-e-picoline, Cu(ac)2-(e-pic), crystallize in space group P21/c with cell dimensions a=7.675(4), b =20.008(6), c= 8.207(4)~, and fl = 115.99(3) ~ The crystal structure has been solved by the heavy-atom method and refined with the three-dimensional x-ray photographic data to an R factor of 9.2%. The structure consists of binuclear units Cu2(act4(~-pic)2. The Cu-Cu distance is 2.671 ,~. The bond length Cu-N (2 24 A) is significantly longer than the corresponding distance in analogous complexes.
