[2,2′-(1,1′-Binaphthyl-2,2′-diyldiimino)diethanol-κ3N,N′,O]dichloridocopper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [CuCl2(C24H24N2O2)], the CuII cation is N,N′,O-chelated by a 2,2′-(1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diyldiimino)diethanol ligand and coordinated by two chloride anions in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In the diethanol ligand, the two naphthalene ring systems are twisted with respect to each other at a dihedral angle of 68.30 (9)°. The uncoordinated hydroxy group links with a coordinated chloride anion via an intramolecular O—H...Cl hydrogen bond. Intermolecular N—H...O and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds occur in the crystal structure.
