Dibromido{2-hydroxy-N′-[phenyl(2-pyridyl)methylene]benzohydrazide}copper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [CuBr2(C19H15N3O2)], the metal ion is coordinated by the N,N′,O-tridentate 2-hydroxy-N′-[phenyl(2-pyridyl)methylene]benzohydrazide ligand and two bromide ions, resulting in a distorted CuN2OBr2 square-based pyramidal coordination geometry with one bromide ion in the apical site. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond occurs in the ligand. In the crystal, molecules are connected by intermolecular C—H...O, C—H...Br and O—H...Br interactions.
