X-ray diffraction study of copper(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonato-benzoylacetonate,Cu(HFA-BA), a mixed ligand complex

Conclusions An x-ray diffraction method was used to study polycrystalline samples and monocrystals of cupric hexafluoroacetylacetonato-benzoylacetonate. The molecular packing may be described as dimers arranged along the b-axis. The Cu-Cu distance in the dimer is 3.2 Å and the distance between the dimers is 5.8 Å.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1405–1406, June, 1989.
