Aqua(azido)(μ-azido)bis{2-[(2-dimethylaminoethylimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenolato}dicopper(II) monohydrate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu2(C12H17N2O2)2(N3)(μ-N3)(H2O)]·H2O, consists of a dinuclear complex mol­ecule and a solvent water mol­ecule. One Cu atom is six-coordinated by the phenol O atom and by one imine and one amine N atoms from one Schiff base ligand, the phenol and ether O atoms of the second Schiff base, together with a terminal N atom of the bridging azide ligand, in an octa­hedral geometry. The coordination environment of the second Cu atom contains a phenol O and imine and amine N atoms from one Schiff base ligand, two further N atoms, one from the bridging and the other from a terminal azide ligand, and a coordinated water mol­ecule, also in an octa­hedral geometry. The crystal structure involves O—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
