[(E)-2-(3-Methoxy-2-oxidobenzylideneamino)ethanesulfonato](1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II)

Abstract: In the mononuclear title complex, [Cu(C₁₀H₁₁NO₅S)(C₁₂H₈N₂)], the Cu^II cation has a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment, with a basal plane formed by two N atoms of the 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand, one O atom and one N atom of the 2-(3-methoxy-2-oxidobenzylideneamino)ethanesulfonate (L) ligand. The apical position is occupied by one O atom from the same L ligand. The asymmetric unit contains two such complexes, which are interconnected by weak - interactions between the phenanthroline planes, with an interplanar distance of 3.675 Å and centroid-to-centroid vector of 3.455 Å. The crystal structure contains a certain amount of solvent water which could not be unambiguously located, and the best structure refinement was obtained by removing the solvent contribution from the intensity data and refining against a solvent-free model.
