Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a 3D Supramolecular Copper(II) Complex With 1-(3-{[(E)-3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene]amino}phenyl) ethanone Oxime

A new Cu(II) complex, [Cu(L)2], has been synthesized via the complexation of copper(II) acetate monohydrate with a new oxime-type ligand (HL = 1-(3-{[(E)-3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene]amino}phenyl)ethanone oxime). X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that the complex is a mononuclear complex. The Cu(II) atom is four-coordinated by the phenolate O atoms and imine N atoms from two oxime-type ligands, in a square-planar geometry in which the dihedral angle of two coordination plane (Cu1N1O1 and Cu1N#1O#1) is 0 degrees. The crystal packing of the Cu(II) complex shows that a notable feature of this structure resides in the formation of a novel 3D supramolecular networks through intermolecular OH center dot center dot center dot N, CH center dot center dot center dot O, and CH center dot center dot center dot interactions.
