Chlorido[N,N′-dibenzyl-N,N′-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]copper(II) perchlorate methanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the title solvated molecular salt, [CuCl(C28H30N4)]ClO4·CH3OH, the Cu2+ ion is coordinated by the N,N′,N′′,N′′′-tetradentate ligand and a chloride ion, generating a very distorted square-based pyramidal CuN4Cl coordination geometry with the Cl− ion in the basal position. In the crystal, the solvent molecules and anions are linked by weak O—H...O hydrogen bonding.
