Crystal structure of the CuCl2 complex with N',N'-dimethyl-para-tert-butylbenzohydrazide [Cu(n-(t-Bu)C6H4CONHN(Me)2)]Cl2

Abstract

The X-ray diffraction analysis of [Cu(p-(t-Bu)C₆H₄CONHN(Me)₂)]Cl₂ (I) has been performed. The complex is binuclear. Its structure represents a centrosymmetric dimer. Copper atoms are linked to each other via two bridging chlorine atoms. The copper coordination polyhedron is a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The dialkylhydrazide reagent is a bidentate (O, N(2)) ligand linked to the central atom to form a five-membered chelate ring, which has an envelope conformation with a copper atom in its “flap.” Crystals are monoclinic.
