{2,2′-[Cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethanylylidene)]diphenolato}copper(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(C20H20N2O2)], crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. In each molecule, the CuII atom occupies the tetradentate N2O2 cavity of the salen-type Schiff base ligand, adopting a distorted square-planar geometry with r.m.s. deviations of the coordinating atoms of 0.0522 (2) and 0.1128 (4) Å. No hydrogen bonds or π–π stacking interaction are observed.
