    Abstract

    Reaction of copper(i) acetate and 4-amino-3,5-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (adpt) in methanol under ambient conditions yields octanuclear [Cu II 8(dpt) 4(OH) 4(OAc) 8]; OAc = acetate anion, and dpt - = anion of deaminated adpt, 3,5-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazolate. However, reaction of copper(ii) acetate with dptH gives tetranuclear [Cu II 4(dpt) 2(OH)(OMe) (OAc) 4].
