Crystal structure of bis{μ-1-[(E)-(3-methoxyphenyl)diazenyl]naphthalen-2-olato-κ3N2,O:O}bis({1-[(E)-(3-methoxyphenyl)diazenyl]naphthalen-2-olato-κ2N2,O}copper(II))

Abstract

The title dinuclear CuIIcomplex, [Cu2(C17H13N2O2)4], is located on an inversion centre. The CuIIatoms are each five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by two N atoms and two O atoms from two bidentate ligands and one bridging O atom from another ligand. In the dinuclear complex, the Cu...Cu separation is 3.366 (3) Å. In the crystal, complex molecules are linkedviaweak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a layer parallel to (-101).
