An unusual axial co-ordination of phenolate oxygen to copper(II): crystal structure of chloro{2-[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-nitrophenolato}copper(II)
Abstract
A tripod ligand possessing two pyridine moieties and a phenolato group as pendants forms a mononuclear complex with an axial copper(II)–phenolate co-ordination in a square-pyramidal environment.
