Di-μ-chlorido-bis[(2-anilinobenzoato-κ2O,O′)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)copper(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu2(C13H10NO2)2Cl2(C12H8N2)2], the coordination geometry around the CuII atom is square-pyramidal, comprising one O atom from a 2-anilinobenzoate ligand, two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two Cl− anions. In addition, there is a weak inter­action of 2.700 (2) A between the CuII atom and the other O atom of the 2-anilinobenzoate ligand. The two Cl− anions bridge two CuII atoms to form a dimeric complex mol­ecule, which lies on an inversion centre. There is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond in the 2-anilinobenzoate ligand.
