Bis{2-methoxy-6-[(3-pyridyl)methyliminomethyl]phenolato}copper(II)

Abstract

In the mononuclear title complex, [Cu(C14H13N2O2)2], the CuII atom lies on an inversion centre and adopts a square-planar coordination geometry. The dihedral angle formed by the pyridine and benzene rings is 74.61 (5)°. Intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions involving neighbouring pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.853 (2) Å].
