In the title complex, [Cu(C21H14NO)2], the CuII atom, lying on an inversion center, is coordinated by two bidentate 1-(2-naphthyliminomethyl)-2-naphtholate ligands in a trans arrangement, forming a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry. The mean planes of two naphthyl systems of the ligand make a dihedral angle of 40.32 (11)°.

2-Naphthylamine(0.143 g, 1 mmol) was dissolved in hot methanol (10 ml) and added dropwise to a methanol solution (3 ml) of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyldehyde (0.172 g, 1 mmol). The mixture was then stirred at 323 K for 2 h. Subsequently, an aqueous solution (2 ml) of cupric acetate hydrate (0.200 g, 1 mmol) was added dropwise and stirred for another 5 h. The solution was held at room temperature for 15 d, whereupon green needle crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Schiff base complexes play an important role in the stereochemical models of transition metal coordination chemistry, with their easy preparation, diversity and structural variation (Gamovski et al., 1993). They aslo have been intensively investigated owing to their strong coordination capability and diverse biological activities, such as antibacterial, and antitumor activities (Tarafder et al., 2002; Yang et al., 2000). As part of a series of the studies (Wang et al., 2007), we report here the synthesis and structure of the title compound, a new copper(II) complex with a bidentate Schiff base ligand derived from the condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthyldehyde and 2-naphthylamine.
The molecular structure of the title complex is shown in Fig. 1. The CuII atom, lying on an inversion center, is coordinated by two bidentate ligands in a trans arrangement, forming a CuN2O2 square-planar configuration (Table 1), with the typical values of Cu—O and Cu—N bond lengths (Unver et al., 2003). The mean planes of the chelate ring N1, C1, C2, C3, O1, Cu1 (A), bicycles C2—C11 (B) and C12—C21 (C) make the following dihedral angles: A/B 18.92 (19), A/C 58.14 (12) and B/C 40.32 (11)°. Additionally, the relatively short intermolecular distance H12···C7i (symmetry code: (i) x + 1, y, z) of 2.90Å indicates the possible prescence of C—H···π interaction, which forms a one-dimensional chain structure (Fig. 2).
