Abstract: | A new complex of copper (II) with 3-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfo-5-nitrophenylazo)-pentadione-2,4 (HL) is synthesized and analyzed by single crystal XRD. The crystals are monoclinic: a = 7.7563(4) Å, b = 24.0157(12) Å, c = 24.6353(13) Å, β = 91.9490(10)°, V = 4586.2(4) Å3, space group P21/c, Z = 2, ρcalc = 1.713 g/cm3, R = 0.0695. The environment of the copper atom is formed by three oxygen atoms, the nitrogen atom of tetradentate ligand, and the oxygen atom of a water molecule. |
