Bis(isothiocyanato-N)bis[8-(methoxycarbonylmethoxy)quinoline-N]copper(II)

R.-F. Song, Y.-H. Wang and F. Jiang

Abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [Cu(NSC)₂(C₁₃H₁₁NO₃)₂], the isothiocyanate ions and 8-(methoxycarbonylmethoxy)quinoline molecules act as monodentate ligands. The ligand geometry about the Cu centre, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, can be described as square-planar or grossly distorted octahedral, formed by two N atoms of the isothiocyanate ions, two quinoline N atoms and two methoxy O atoms of the 8-(methoxycarbonylmethoxy)quinoline ligands. The N-Cu-N cis angles around the Cu atom vary from 88.38  (12) to 94.27  (15)° and the Cu-N bond distances are 1.950  (2) and 2.024  (2)  Å.
