The ionic title complex, bis(μ‐ethylene glycol)‐κ 3 O , O ′: O ′;κ 3 O : O , O ′‐bis[(ethylene glycol‐κ 2 O , O ′)(ethylene glycol‐κ O )sodium] bis(ethylene glycolato‐κ 2 O , O ′)copper(II), [Na 2 (C 2 H 6 O 2 ) 6 ][Cu(C 2 H 4 O 2 ) 2 ], was obtained from a basic solution of CuCl 2 in ethylene glycol and consists of discrete ions interconnected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. This is the first example of a disodium–ethylene glycol complex cation cluster. The cation lies about an inversion center and the Cu II atom of the anion lies on another independent inversion center.
