In the title compound, [Cu(C17H15NO3)(C3H4N2)], the CuII atom is four-coordinated by two O atoms and the N atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand, and one N atom from the imidazole ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the molecules are linked into dimers by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound was synthesized as described in the literature (Plesch et al., 1997). To L-phenylalanine (1.00 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (1.00 mmol) in 10 ml of methanol was added 2-hydroxyacetophenone (1.00 mmol in 10 ml of methanol) dropwise. The yellow solution was stirred for 2 h at 333 K. The resultant mixture was added dropwise to copper(II) acetate monohydrate (1.00 mmol) and imidazole (1.00 mmol) in an aqueous methanol solution (20 ml, 1:1 v/v), and heated with stirring for 2 h at 333 K. The dark blue solution was filtered and left for several days; the resulting dark blue crystals were filtered off, washed with water, and dried under vacuum.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (CH) or 0.97 Å (CH2) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), C—H = 0.96 Å (CH3) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C), and with N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In the past decades, significant progress has been achieved in understanding the chemistry of transition metal complexes with Schiff base ligands composed of salicylaldehyde, 2-formylpyridine or their analogues, and α-amino acids (Vigato & Tamburini, 2004; Ganguly et al., 2008; Casella & Guillotti, 1983). A few stuctural studies have been performed on Schiff base complexes derived from 2-hydroxyacetophenone and animo acids (Usman et al., 2003; Basu Baul et al., 2007; Parekh et al., 2006). We report here the crystal structure of the title CuII complex.
The structure consists of discrete monomeric square-planar CuIIcomplex (Fig. 1 and Table 1). The four basal positions are occupied by three donor atoms from the tridentate Schiff base ligand, which furnishes an ONO donor set, with the fourth position occupied by one N atom from the imidazole ligand. The nitrogen heterocycle is planar and it forms an angle of 14.7 (2)° with the C1—C6 ring.
The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H···O type hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Table 2). The H atom attached to N3 is hydrogen-bonded to the neighboring carboxylate oxygen O2 to form a dimer.
