Bis[4-chloro-2-(iminomethyl)phenolato]copper(II) methanol disolvate

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₇H₅ClNO)₂]·2CH₃OH, possesses crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the twofold axis passing through the central Cu^II ion. The metal centre is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from two symmetry-related Schiff base ligands, forming a slightly distorted cis-CuN₂O₂ square-planar geometry. The complex molecules are linked via the solvent methanol molecules by O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of chains along the b axis.
