Catena-Poly[[{2-[2-(isopropylamino)ethyliminomethyl]-4-nitrophenolato}copper(II)]-μ-chlorido

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(C12H16N3O3)Cl]n, is a chloride-bridged polymeric copper(II) complex. The CuII atom is five-coordinate in a square-pyramidal geometry, with one O and two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand and one Cl atom defining the basal plane [Cu⋯Cl = 2.2703 (8) Å] and a symmetry-related Cl atom occupying the apical position [2.8531 (9) Å]. The chloride-bridged polymeric chain runs along the b axis.
