X-Ray crystal structure of a Schiff's base complex of copper(II)
Abstract
X-Ray structural analysis of the copper (II)complex of the pyridoxylidenehistamine Schiff's base, [Cu(C13H16N4O2)CI2], shows that the copper atom is square-pyramidally co-ordinated by the tridentate Schiff's base through the imino and imidazole nitrogens and the phenolate oxygen, and by a chlorine atom; another chlorine atom occupies a fifth, axial site.
