trans-Bis{2-[3-(cyclohexylammonio)propyliminomethyl]phenolato}dithiocyanatocopper(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Cu(NCS)2(C16H24N2O)2], is a mononuclear copper(II) complex. The Cu atom lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two Schiff base ligands, and two N atoms from two thio­cyanate anions. The six atoms around the metal constitute a slightly distorted octahedral geometry.

Bis{2-[3-(cyclohexylammonio)propyliminomethyl]phenolato}dithiocyanatocobalt(II)

“…Compound (I) is an electronically neutral mononuclear centrosymmetric cobalt(II) compound ( Fig. 1), which is isostructural with the copper(II) complex reported by Nie (2004). The Co II atom has an octahedral geometry and is sixcoordinated by two Schiff base ligands and two thiocyanate anions.…”

The title complex is a discrete iron(II) complex, which isisostructural to those of the nickel , the cobalt (You et al, 2003;Yue et al, 2005), and the copper complexes (Nie, 2004). The central iron(II) atom is sixcoordinated by two oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms from two Schiff base ligands, and by two nitrogen atoms from two thiocyanate anions.…”
