Copper(II) bis [2-((E)-2-(pyrid-2-yl)ethylimino)methyl)-6-bromo-4-chlorophenolate]

A new complex CuL ₂ HL = 2-((E)-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylimino)methyl)-6-bromo-4-chlorophenol] was synthesized, and its structure (C₂₈H₂₂Br₂Cl₂CuN₄O₂, Mr = 740.76) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system, space group $P\bar 1$ , with a = 5.157(6), b = 12.090(1), c =12.310(1) Å, α = 113.962(2)°, β = 96.7910(10)°, γ = 90.0300(10)°, V = 695.4(8) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0481. The complex molecules are linked via the weak C-H...N hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of one dimension (1D) chains along the a axis.
