(2-{[2-(2-Aminoethylamino)ethylimino]methyl}phenolato-κ4O,N′,N′′,N′′′)copper(II) perchlorate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Cu(C11H16N3O)]ClO4, consists of two CuII ions coordinated by Schiff base ligands and two perchlorate anions. The Schiff base molecules are linked to the CuII atoms via three N atoms and one O atom, resulting in a square-planar geometry. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the NH groups as donors and O atoms of the perchlorate anions as acceptors are observed.
