Abstract: | The title complex Cu(L)2] (HL=4-salicylideneamino-3,5-dimethanol-1,2,4-triazole) was synthesized by the reaction of Cu(CH3COO)2·2H2O with 4-salicylideneamino-3,5-dimethanol- 1,2,4-triazole in the methanol. The single-crystal X-ray study reveals that the compound crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 11.746(5), b = 8.145(3), c = 12.786(5)A,β = 106.64(1)°, V = 1172(1)A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.581 g/cm3, μ= 0.989 mm-1, F(000) = 574, C22H22Cu- N8O6, Mr = 558.02, T = 293(2) K, R = 0.0394 and Rw = 0.0835 for 2376 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The complex comprises a four-coordinated copper(Ⅱ) center, with an N2O2 planar coordi- nation environment. The molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds to form one-dimensional chains which are further linked to form a two-dimensional plane. |
