Bis(cinnamato-O)bis[2-(dimethylamino)ethanol-²N,O]copper(II)

A. A. Tahir, M. Hamid, M. Mazhar and K. C. Molloy

Abstract: The Cu atom in the title complex, [Cu(C₉H₇O₂)(C₄H₁₁NO)₂], lies on an inversion centre in an octahedral geometry and is coordinated by two bidentate chelating 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol groups and two monodentate cinnamate groups which are mutually trans to each other. The non-coordinated O atoms of the cinnamate ligands form intramolecular hydrogen bonds to the OH groups of the 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol ligands, generating six-membered rings.
