The two CuII atoms [Cu...Cu = 2.7254 (11) ] are bridged by four acetate anions. The geometry of the polyhedron around the metal centre can be described as tetragonal-pyramidal derived from the calculation of the value ¦Ó = 0.0018. The apical positions of the tetragonal-pyramidal copper coordination polyhedra are occupied by the N atoms of 2-(2-furyl)-1-(2-furylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into a chain by intermolecular C¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds parallel to [010]. Two furan rings are disordered over two positions in ratios of 0.55:0.45 and 0.69:0.31. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536809025276
