Microwave Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 2-(p-Tolylimino-methyl)-phenol-copper (II)

Abstract  

2-(p-Tolylimino-methyl)-phenol-copper (II) has been synthesized and its structure determined by X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/c, with the cell parameters a = 12.0266 (15) ?, b = 27.714 (2) ?, c = 11.0043 (11) ?, α = γ = 90.00°, β = 107.7510 (10)°, V = 3493.1 (6) ?³ and Z = 6. The Cu atom is surrounded by two O atoms and two N atoms from two 2-(p-Tolylimino-methyl)-phenol molecules to form a tetrahedron coordination environment. The complex is linked into a column by weak intermolecular interactions.
