Synthesis, crystal structure and characterization of complex Cu(C14H9NO3) (C3H4N2)

The copper(I) complex with N-(2-carboxyphenyl) salicylidenamine and imidazo le ligands, Cu(C14H9NO3) (C3H4N2), was synthesized. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic, space group Pca2(1), with the crystal cell parameters: a=0.94 4 53(12) nm, b=1.122 78(9) nm, c=2.912 3(4) nm, V=3. 088 5(6) nm(3), M-r,37 0. 84, Z=8, R=0.036, wR=0.087, GOF=0.975. The copper( I) ion lies in a dist orted square-planar environment composed of two oxygen atoms, one nitrogen atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand and one nitrogen atom of the imid azole ligand. The complex was also characterized by elementary analysis, IR I UV-Vis, TG and cycle voltammetry measurement.
