Bis[(E)-4-bromo-2-(methoxyiminomethyl)phenolato-²N,O¹]copper(II)

L.-Q. Chai, J. Yao and S.-S. Gong

Abstract: In the title centrosymmetric mononuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(C₈H₇BrNO₂)₂], the Cu^II atom, lying on an inversion centre, is four-coordinated in a trans-CuN₂O₂ square-planar geometry by two phenolate O atoms and two oxime N atoms from two symmetry-related N,O-bidentate oxime-type ligands. Intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds link neighbouring molecules into a one-dimensional supramolecular structure with an R₂²(14) ring motif. This structure is further stabilized by - stacking interactions between adjacent benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.862 (1) Å].
