The Dimeric Complex {2,2'-[2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-propanediylbis(aminomethyl)]diphenolato-N,N',O,O'}copper(II) Ethanol Solvate

The title complex, [Cu(C₁₉H₂₄N₂O₂)]₂.2C₂H₅OH, is a centrosymmetric dimer. Each Cu atom is coordinated by two N and two O atoms from the amine-phenol ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry with a fifth axial bond to an O atom of the ligand coordinated by the other Cu atom. The ethanol molecule is hydrogen bonded to a phenol O atom and an amine N atom. The dihedral angle between the two CuN₂O₂ equatorial planes is 25.7 (1)°.
