Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Complex Cu(C_(14)H_(10)N_2O_2)(C_5H_5N)

The novel copper?complex with salicylaldehyde benzoylhydrazone and pyridine ligands, Cu(C14H10N2O2)(C5H5N), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and thermal analysis. The crystal structure of the title complex has been determined by single crystal X ray diffraction techniques. The crystal belongs to monoclinic with space group P21/c. The cell parameters are: a=1.6362(9)nm, b=1.7140(9)nm, c=1.2255(7)nm, β=105.168(9)°, V=3.317(3)nm3, Z=8, Dc=1.525g·cm-3, μ(MoKα)=1.334mm-1, F(000)=1560. The structure wasrefined to final R1=0.0376, wR2=0.0909. The copper?ion lies in a distorted square planar environment composed of two oxygen atoms, one nitrogen atom of tridentate acyhydrazone Schiff base ligand and one nitrogen atom of the pyridine ligand.
