[4-Bromo-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethyliminomethyl)phenolato](methanol)copper(II) perchlorate

Y.-X. Sun

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₁₃H₁₀BrN₂O)(CH₄O)]ClO₄, is a mononuclear copper(II) complex. The Cu^II atom is four-coordinated by two N atoms and one O atom of the Schiff base ligand, and another O atom of a coordinated methanol molecule, forming a slightly distorted square-planar coordination configuration. Symmetry-related cations are linked via a hydrogen bond, involving the coordinated methanol OH group and the coordinated O atom of the ligand, to form centrosymmetric dimers. In the crystal structure, the cations are also linked via the perchlorate anions [Cu1O3 = 2.491 (7) Å] to form a polymeric structure.
