Abstract: The title compound, [CuCl(NO₃)(C₃₃H₃₉N₃)] or Cu([9]ane(Nvbz)₃NO₃Cl, is the polymerizable form of a potent metal-chelator complex that catalyses the hydrolysis of phosphate esters. The coordination geometry around the Cu atom is square pyramidal. The structure has a similar conformation to the parent catalyst Cu([9]aneN₃)Cl₂, showing that the extensive functionalization does not significantly distort the metal-complex geometry.
