a

Parenthesized values are the standard deviations.

b

Distorted tetrahedral conformer where the space diagonal nitrogen pair has unequal distances (diagonal NN): 3.82 versus 4.08 Å and angles (diagonal ∠NCuN): 121.4 versus 162.2°, respectively, while having a copper ion in the middle (see Figure 6) of both diagonal distances.
