Bis{(E)-2-[1-(eth-oxy-imino)-eth-yl]-1-naphtho-lato-κN,O}copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [Cu(C(14)H(14)NO(2))(2)], the discrete complex mol-ecules have crystallographic inversion symmetry. The slightly distorted square-planar coordination sphere of the Cu(II) atom comprises two phenolate O atoms and two oxime N atoms from two bidentate-chelate 2-[1-(eth-oxy-imino)-eth-yl]-1-naphtho-late O-ethyl oxime (L(-)) ligands [Cu-O = 1.8919 (17) Å and Cu-N = 1.988 (2) Å]. The two naphthalene ring systems in the mol-ecule are parallel, with a perpendicular inter-planar spacing of 1.473 (2) Å, while each complex unit forms links to four other mol-ecules via inter-molecular methyl C-H⋯π inter-actions, giving an infinite cross-linked layered supra-molecular structure.
