CuC8H8(NO)4(CH)8 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one p-xylene molecule and one CuC8H8(NO)4 cluster. In the CuC8H8(NO)4 cluster, Cu(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Cu(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.98 Å. Both Cu(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.99 Å. There are four inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(1) and one O(2) atom. The C(1)-O(1) bond length is 1.30 Å. The C(1)-O(2) bond length is 1.25 Å. In the second C site, C(6) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and one H(5) atom. The C(6)-N(1) bond length is 1.33 Å. The C(6)-N(2) bond length is 1.35 Å. The C(6)-H(5) bond length is 1.08 Å. In the third C site, C(7) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one C(8), one N(2), and one H(7) atom. The C(7)-C(8) bond length is 1.37 Å. The C(7)-N(2) bond length is 1.38 Å. The C(7)-H(7) bond length is 1.09 Å. In the fourth C site, C(8) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one C(7), one N(1), and one H(8) atom. The C(8)-N(1) bond length is 1.39 Å. The C(8)-H(8) bond length is 1.08 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Cu(1), one C(6), and one C(8) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C(6), one C(7), and one H(6) atom. The N(2)-H(6) bond length is 1.01 Å. There are four inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(6) atom. In the second H site, H(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(2) atom. In the third H site, H(7) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(7) atom. In the fourth H site, H(8) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(8) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom.
