Bis[N′-(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)benzohydrazidato-κ2N′,O]copper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cu(C20H13N2O)2], the CuII ion is tetra-coordinated by an N2O2 set of two ligands in a distorted rectangular-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the two coordinated five-membered metalla rings is 37.5 (3)°. The molecular configuration is stabilized by two C—H...O and two C—H...N intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is dominated by van der Waals interactions. Three atoms of the phenyl ring of the benzohydrazidate moiety are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.625 (18):0.375 (18) ratio.
