Abstract

The X-ray crystal structures of [Cu(bipy)2(ONO)][NO3] (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridyl) are reported at 298 and 165 K; significant differences occur which are consistent with a fluxional behaviour of the CuN4O2 chromophore, and enable the underlying static stereochemistry to be predicted and rationalised using the i.r. spectrum of the nitrito-group and the electronic reflectance spectrum of the CuN 4O2 chromophore.
