Abstract
The copper(II) complex [Cu(C5H4NCH2−N=CH–C6H3OCH3–O)Cl], (1) containing a new tridentate Schiff base ligand (LH), which is the 1:1 condensation product of 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine and o-vaniline, has been synthesised and characterized by IR and UV–Vis spectra. Structural investigation shows that 1 crystallizes to a monoclinic system, having space group P2(1)/c, a = 6.9634(7), b = 18.1209(19), c = 10.3448(11) A, α = 90°, β = 103.97(2)°, γ = 90° and Z = 4. The coordination geometry around the copper atom is slightly distorted square planar, formed by the N2O donor set of the Schiff base and one Cl atom. The Cu–N(1), Cu–N(2), Cu–O(1) and Cu–Cl bond distances are 2.0114(14), 1.9414(14), 1.9147(12) and 2.2520(5) A, respectively. The copper(II) complex [Cu(C5H4NCH2−N=CH–C6H3OCH3–O)Cl], (1) containing a tridentate Schiff base ligand (LH), synthesised and characterized by IR and UV–Vis spectra. The central copper ion possesses a distorted square-planar geometry.
