The described compound is a binuclear complex, each pair of similar carboxylate ligands occupyingmutually trans bridging positions,while the methanol occupies the apical positions. The dimers are arranged into 2D layers in the bc plane through a network of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds established between themethanol and the acetate ligand. Magnetic studies showed a strong antiferromagnetic Cu⋯Cu interaction (J = −308 cm−1), in agreement with the presence of four μ-κO-κO′ carboxylates bridging the metallic centers in the binuclear complex.16 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier B.V., 2016http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esEstructura cristal·lina (Sòlids)CoureLayer structure (Solids)Copperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6681032020-06-04info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
