{2,2′-[1,2-Phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}copper(II) dichloromethane solvate

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(C20H14N2O2)]·CH2Cl2, crystallizes as a monomer, with the copper ion in a square‐planar environment provided by the tetradentate 2,2′‐[1,2‐phenyl­ene­bis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]­diphenolate (L18) ligand. The planar mol­ecules pack parallel to the (101) crystallographic planes.
