Crystal structure of di-chlorido-{2-methyl-2-[(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amino]-propan-1-ol-κ³N,N',O}copper(II) from synchrotron data.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [CuCl₂(C₁₀H₁₆N₂O)], has been synthesized and characterized by synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. The 2-methyl-2-[(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amino]-propan-1-ol (mpmapOH) ligand, including pyridine, amine and hy-droxy groups, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-2-methyl-propan-1-ol with pyridine-2-carbaldehyde and was characterized by NMR spectroscopy. In its Cu^II complex, the metal ion has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry with two N and one O atom of the mpmapOH ligand and one chloride anion in the equatorial plane, and the second chloride in an axial position. The bond lengths involving the Cu^II ion range from 1.9881 (10) to 2.0409 (9) for the Cu-N and
