H. Adams et al., COPPER(II) COMPLEXES OF SCHIFF-BASE LIGANDS DERIVED FROM 2-(2-PYRIDYLMETHYL)-1,3-PROPANEDIAMINE, Polyhedron, 17(21), 1998, pp. 3803-3808
The synthesis and characterisation of copper(II) complexes of Schiff b
ase ligands derived from 2-(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,3-propanediamine and su
bstituted salicylaldehydes are reported together with the crystal stru
cture of CuL2. MeOH in which the ligand L-2 is derived from 5-bromosal
icylaldehyde is also reported. The pendant arm does not engage in inte
r- or intramolecular binding and inspection of the packing diagram sho
ws that the molecules coexist as discrete van der Waals dimers. (C) 19
