Bis{1-[(o-tolyl)iminomethyl]-2-naphtholato}copper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cu(C18H14NO)2], the CuII ion lies on a crystallographic inversion centre and is bonded to the O- and N-donor atoms of the two bidentate chelate 1-[(o-tolyl)iminomethyl]-2-naphtholate ligands in a trans arrangement. The distorted square-planar geometry about CuII has normal dimensions, with Cu—O = 1.8881 (15) Å and Cu—N = 1.9804 (17) Å.
