The title complex, [Cu(C12H16NO3)2], adopts a distorted square-planar coordination geometry with the CuII ion situated on a crystallographic inversion center. The two Schiff base ligands are coordinated in a trans fashion. In the non-classical intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the ether O atoms link the Schiff base molecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to (101).

Synthesis of (E)-2-methoxy-6-((3-methoxypropylimino)methyl)phenol: The compound was synthesized by the condensation reaction between O-vaniline and NH2(CH2)3OMe in methanol. After complete removal of the solvent, the resulting yellow liquid was used without purification.
Synthesis of the title complex: A methanolic solution of Cu(NO3)2 (1 mmol, 188 mg) and (E)-2-methoxy-6-((3-methoxypropylimino)methyl)phenol (2 mmol, 446 mg) was stirred for 30 min. The solution was then kept for 7 days to yield crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction study.
All the H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with Caryl—H = 0.95, Cmethyl—H = 0.98, Cmethylene—H = 0.99, Cmethine—H = 0.95 Å while Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for the methyl H atoms and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for all the other H atoms.

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. |

The Schiff base (E)-2-methoxy-6-[(3-methoxypropyl)iminomethyl]phenol reacts with copper(II) nitrate in methanol to form the title complex. In situ deprotonation of the phenolic hydrogen occurred leading to formation of the O/N-bidentate ligand. The title complex consists of two bidentate ligands coordinating in a trans fashion. It adopts a square-planar coordination geometry with the Cu atom located on a crystallographic inversion center. Schiff base Cu(II) complexes similar to the title complex have been reported in the literature (Akitsu & Einaga, 2004; Bluhm et al., 2003; Castiñeiras et al., 1990; Costamagna et al., 1998; King et al., 1973; Lacroix et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2001).
Both intramolecular and intermolecular non-classical H-bonds of the type C-H···O exist (Table 1). The intermolecular H-bonds link the complex into a two-dimensional network.
