Bis(4-aminophenylhydroxamato-κ2 O,O′)copper(II) methanol disolvate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cu(C7H7N2O2)2]·2CH3OH, the metal centre is coordinated by two 4-aminophenylhydroxamate bidentate ligands, in a distorted square-planar geometry. The asymmetric unit is completed by two methanol solvent molecules, which are involved in hydrogen bonding with N—H functionalities of the free hydroxamate groups. The crystal structure also features N—H...O bonds formed by the NH2 groups, and O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the methanol solvent molecules as donors.
