Synthesis and crystal structure of the copper(II) complex with novel Schiff base ligand: Cu(C8H7O2N)2(OH2)

The title complex Cu(C8H7O2N)2(OH2) crystallized in the orthorhombic space group, Pbca with unit cell parameters: a = 15.242(2), b = 11.782(4), c = 17.946(4) A, and Z = 8. Two nitrogen atoms, two phenolic oxygen atoms of the ligand, and one water molecule are coordinated with copper to form a distorted tetragonal pyramidal polyhedron.
