Bis[μ2-bis(salicylidene)propane-1,3-diaminato-κ4O,N,N′,O′:κ2O,O′]bis(μ2-nitrato-κO:κO′)tricopper(II)

Abstract

The self-assembly of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O and H2L [where H2L is bis­(salicyl­idene)propane-1,3-diamine] generates the title compound, [Cu3L2(NO3)2] or [Cu3(C17H16N2O2)2(NO3)2]. The central CuII ion is located on an inversion centre and is bridged to terminal CuII ions by O atoms belonging to L ligands and NO3− anions, resulting in a trinuclear CuII mol­ecular complex.
