[(2S)-2-(3,5-Dichloro-2-oxidobenzyl-ideneamino)-3-(4-hydroxy-phen-yl)propionato-κO,N,O'](dimethyl-formamide-κO)copper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cu(C(16)H(11)Cl(2)NO(4))(C(3)H(7)NO)] , the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from the tridentate ligand L(2-) {LH(2) = (2S)-[2-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxy-benzyl-idene)-imino]-3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)propionic acid} and one O atom from a dimethyl-formamide mol-ecule, resulting in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The structure forms a one-dimensional chain through weak coordination bonds [Cu⋯O 3.080 (1), Cu⋯Cl 3.269 (1) Å] and a three-dimensional network through O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
