The title compound, C22H18N4O2S2, was characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, solid-state IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallographic techniques. The crystal structure determination reveals that the twisting modes of the two side arms are different [C—N—C—O and C—N—C—N torsion angles = −1.2 (3) and 1.1 (3)°, respectively, in one arm and 24.1 (3) and −5.1 (3)°, respectively, in the other]. The crystal structure involves N—H⋯O and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds.
In the title complex, [Cu(C9H9N2O2)Cl]·2H2O, prepared from the Schiff base ligand N′-(2-hydroxybenzilidene)acetohydrazide and copper(II) chloride, the CuII atom is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from the ligand and by a Cl atom in a distorted square-planar geometry. The two donor O atoms of the tridentate Schiff base ligand are in a trans arrangement. In the crystal structure, there is an extensive intermolecular hydrogen-bonding network; N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl interactions, involving the uncoordinated water molecules, lead to the formation of a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
