Bis[N-benzyl-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetamide]dichloridocopper(II) acetonitrile solvate monohydrate

Abstract

In the title complex, [CuCl2(C18H16N2O2)2]·CH3CN·H2O, the six-coordinated Cu atom is in a distorted octahedral geometry with the donor centers of two O atoms and two N atom from two bidentate ligands, and two chloride ions. In the crystal, pairs of intermolecular N—H... Cl hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers and intermolecular O—H... O hydrogen bonds between the ligand and the uncoordinated water molecules link the dimers into chains parallel to the c axis.
