Aqua[4-chloro-2-(2-pyridylmethyliminomethyl)phenolato]copper(II) nitrate monohydrate

Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [Cu(C13H10ClN2O)(H2O)]NO3·H2O, the CuII atom is four-coordinated by two N atoms and one O atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand and one O atom from the coordinated water molecule in a slightly distorted square-planar configuration. The nitrate ion interacts with the copper center [Cu1...O3 = 2.579 (4) Å]. In the crystal, the cations, anions and water molecules are linked by O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds.
