(1H-Imidazole-κN³){N-[1-(2-oxidophenyl-κO)ethylidene]-L-phenylalaninato-κ²N,O}copper(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cu(C17H15NO3)(C3H4N2)], the CuII atom is four-coordinated by two O atoms and the N atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand, and one N atom from the imidazole ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked into dimers by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
