The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the µ-phenolato binuclear copper (II) complex,[Cu2 (L)(C6H5CO2) 2] PF6 are reported, where H (L) represents 2, 6-bis [N-(2- diethylaminoethyl)-N-ethyl-aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol; this complex is unique in that two basal planes containing the copper ion are nearly orthogonal.
