[1,10-Diphenyl-3,30-(propane-1,3-diyldinitrilo) dibut-1-enolato] copper(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(C23H24N2O2)] or [Cu{(BA)2pn}], where (BA)2pn is 1,1′-diphenyl-3,3′-(propane-1,3-diyldinitrilo)dibut-1-enolate, is a mononuclear copper(II) complex, located on a twofold axis. The four-coordinate CuII atom is in a tetra-hedrally distorted square plane defined by the N and O atoms of the Schiff base ligand. In the tetra-dentate ligand, the two chelate rings are twisted relative to each other, making a dihedral angle of 36.57 (3)°.
