(Imidazole-κN3){N-[1-(2-oxidophenyl)ethylidene]-l-valinato-κ3O,N,O′}copper(II)

Abstract

In each of the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C13H15NO3)(C3H4N2)], the CuII atom is four-coordinated by two O atoms and the N atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand and one N atom from the imidazole ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
