Crystal structure and characterization of a new copper(II) chloride dimer with meth-yl(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)amine.

ABSTRACT: The new copper(II) complex, namely, di-μ-chlorido-bis-{chlorido-[meth-yl(pyri-din-2-yl-methyl-idene)amine-κ² N,N']copper(II)}, [Cu₂Cl₄(C₇H₈N₂)₂], (I), with the ligand 2-pyridyl-methyl-N-methyl-imine (L, a product of Schiff base condensation between methyl-amine and 2-pyridine-carbaldehyde) is built of discrete centrosymmetric dimers. The coordination about the Cu^II ion can be described as distorted square pyramidal. The base of the pyramid consists of two nitro-gen atoms from the bidentate chelate L [Cu-N = 2.0241 (9), 2.0374 (8) Å] and two chlorine atoms [Cu-Cl = 2.2500 (3), 2.2835 (3) Å]. The apical position is occupied by another Cl atom with the apical bond being s
