Bis{(E)-2-[(2-chloro-3-pyrid-yl)imino-meth-yl]-6-meth-oxy-phenolato-κN,O}copper(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title mononuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(C(13)H(10)ClN(2)O(2))(2)], the Cu(II) ion, lying on an inversion center, is four-coordinated in a trans-CuN(2)O(2) square-planar geometry by two phenolate O and two imino N atoms from two symmetry-related N,O-bidentate Schiff base ligands. The shortest Cu⋯Cu distance is 7.5743 (9) Å. However, there are weak intra-molecular electrostatic inter-actions between the Cu atom and the Cl atom of the ligand, with a Cu⋯Cl distance of 3.3845 (9) Å.
