Bis[μ-N′-(5-bromo-3-methoxy-2-oxidobenzylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazidato]bis[(N,N-dimethylformamide)copper(II)]

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu2(C15H11BrN2O4)2(C3H7NO)2], is derived from the reaction of N′-(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide and copper nitrate in a dimethylformamide solution in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The compound can be regarded as a binuclear centrosymmetric complex. In the crystal, the CuII atom is fivefold surrounded and adopts a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment. An intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond stabilizes the molecular conformation.
