Chlorido(pyridine-2-carbaldehyde oximato-κN,N')(pyridine-2-carbaldehyde oxime-κN,N')copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Cu(C(6)H(5)N(2)O)Cl(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)], the Cu atom is coordinated by one neutral and one deprotonated pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde oxime (pco) ligand, resulting in the formation of two five-membered CuN(2)C(2) rings. Together with the additional coordinating chloride anion, the coordination polyhedron of copper is best described as a distorted square-pyramid, the distortion parameter being 0.288. The two organic ligands are linked by an intramolecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond.
