Abstract
The crystal structure of bis-salicylaldiminatocopper(II) has been investigated by three-dimensional X-ray methods, and confirmed as essentially isostructural with bis-salicylaldiminatonickel(II), i.e., the copper is 4-co-ordinate only. The molecule has the stepped configuration in which the ligands are individually planar but not coplanar. The distortion from coplanarity is attributed to packing forces of the van der Waals type.
