Bis[4-chloro-2-(2-hydroxyethyliminomethyl)phenolato-²N,O]copper(II)

H. Liu, H. Wang, D. Niu and Z. Lu

Abstract: A new copper(II) complex, [Cu(C₉H₉ClNO₂)₂)], has been synthesized by the reaction of a tridentate Schiff base ligand derived from 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde and 2-ethanolamine with Cu(CH₃COO)₂·H₂O. The Cu atom lies on a center of symmetry; the asymmetric unit is thus one half-molecule. The coordination geometry around the metal atom is square-planar, with the Schiff base ligand coordinated through two N and two O atoms in a trans configuration.
