Abstract
This compound was obtained in ethanolic medium by reaction of diisopropylsalicylic acid in excess (4.00 mmol) with a cupric acetate solution (1.00 mmol, 25 mL). To this solution was added bipyridine (1.00 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred during 30 minutes. Single crystals were obtained by slow evaporation of this solution under ambient air pressure.
Abstract
The Cu atom exhibits a very distorted octahedral environment in the CUN2O2 + O2 chromophore. The basal plane is formed by two nitrogen atoms (N41, N50) from bipyridine and two oxygen atoms (01,021) provided by two 3,5-diisopropylsalicylato anions via the carboxylate groups. The deviations of Cu and the four donor atoms from their mean plane [P ( 1)
