A novel µ-phenolato binuclear copper(II) complex where two basal planes are nearly orthogonal

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the µ-phenolato binuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu2(L)(C6H5CO2)2]PF6 are reported, where H(L) represents 2,6-bis[N-(2-diethylaminoethyl)-N-ethyl-aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol; this complex is unique in that two basal planes containing the copper ion are nearly orthogonal.
