[(2S)-2-(3,5-Dichloro-2-oxidobenzylideneamino)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionato-κ3O,N,O′](dimethylformamide-κO)copper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cu(C16H11Cl2NO4)(C3H7NO)] , the CuII atom is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from the tridentate ligand L2− {LH2 = (2S)-[2-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)imino]-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid} and one O atom from a dimethylformamide molecule, resulting in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The structure forms a one-dimensional chain through weak coordination bonds [Cu...O 3.080 (1), Cu...Cl 3.269 (1) Å] and a three-dimensional network through O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
