Bis[(E)-4-bromo-2-(ethoxyiminomethyl)phenolato-κ2N,O1]copper(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(C9H9BrNO2)2], is a centrosymmetric mononuclear copper(II) complex. The Cu atom is four-coordinated in a trans-CuN2O2 square-planar geometry by two phenolate O and two oxime N atoms from two symmetry-related N,O-bidentate (E)-4-bromo-2-(ethoxyiminomethyl)phenolate oxime-type ligands. An interesting feature of the crystal structure is the centrosymmetric intermolecular Cu...O interaction [3.382 (1) Å], which establishes an infinite chain structure along the b axis.
