Abstract
The title copper (II) complex with Trimethoprim was prepared at 20-25 degrees C and its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound (C36H50Cu3N8O16) is triclinic, space group P-1 with a = 6.4642(5) angstrom, b = 12.5495(9) angstrom, c = 13.4911(10) angstrom, alpha = 77.518(1)degrees, beta = 85.326(1)degrees, gamma = 84.413(2)degrees, Z = 1. In this compound, three copper atoms are bonded to each other, two terminal coppers are bonded to three oxygen atoms and N-1 of pyrimidine ring of Trimethoprim and central copper is bonded to four oxygen atoms. The amino nitrogen atoms are not involved in the coordination to the metal.
