Abstract: | The title compound, Cu(Cr2O7)(C10H8N2)2], a new mixed‐metal molecular compound, contains isolated molecular units, each comprised of one CuII atom coordinated to two 2,2′‐bipyridine ligands and also to an oxygen vertex of a dichromate anion. The CuII atom has an approximate trigonal–bipyramidal geometry, which is consistent with previous studies. Both enantiomers of the chiral complex molecule are present and are related by inversion centers. In a reported pyridine analogue, achiral Cu(Cr2O7)(pyridine)4] chains pack in the non‐centrosymmetric space group Pna21. Differences in the organic ligands influence the chirality and dimensionality of the Cu—Cr2O7 bonding. |
