[5,5'-Dihydr-oxy-2,2'-[o-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}copper(II) methanol disolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Cu(C(20)H(14)N(2)O(4))]·2CH(3)OH, the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two N [Cu-N = 1.933 (2) and 1.941 (2) Å] and two O [Cu-O = 1.890 (2) and 1.9038 (19) Å] atoms from the tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand 5,5'-dihydr-oxy-2,2'-[o-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphen-olate (L) in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link two CuL mol-ecules and four solvent mol-ecules into a centrosymmetric cluster. The crystal packing exhibits short inter-molecular C⋯C contacts of 3.185 (4) and 3.232 (4) Å.
