Popis: The solid-state structure of bis(dimethylglyoximato)(imidazole)copper (II) has been determined by x-ray crystallographic analysis. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with unit cell dimensions a = 8.468 (1), b = 28.647 (4), and c = 12.413 (1) A. The strucutre was refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques to R = 0.043 and R/sub w/ = 0.065 against the full set of 3108 F/sup 2/ values. The coordination geometry of the copper atom is that of a distorted square pyramid with the four dimethylglyoximato nitrogens forming the basal plane at an average distance of 1.955 (3) A. The copper atom is displaced 0.353 (1) A from this plane toward the axial imidazole group. The Cu-N(imidazole) bond length is 2.141 (1) A. Two asymmetric O-H...O hydrogen bonds of lengths 2.524 (2) and 2.598 (2) A link the dimethylglyoximato moieties. An intermolecular (imidazole) N-H...O hydrogen bond is formed to the oxygen atom of the longer intramolecular hydrogen bond.
