catena-Poly[[[2-[(2-methylaminoethylimino)methyl]-4-nitrophenolato]copper(II)]--thiocyanato]

P. Zhang

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₁₀H₁₂N₃O₃)(NCS)], is a thiocyanate-bridged polynuclear copper(II) complex. The Cu^II atom is pentacoordinated by two N atoms and one O atom of the Schiff base ligand, 4-nitro-2-[(2-methylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol (HNP), and by two N atoms from symmetry-related thiocyanate anions, forming a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination configuration. The Cu(NP) units are linked through the bridging thiocyanate anions, forming chains running along the c direction.
