Crystal Structures of Bis-(Salicylaldehydato)-copper(II) and Bis-(8-Hydroxyquinolinato)-copper(II)

Abstract

ANHYDROUS bis(salicylaldehydato)copper(II) and bis(8-hydroxyquinolinato)copper(II) were obtained by precipitation of the complexes from aqueous solution and recrys-tallization from water-free chloroform and chlorobenzene respectively. Both compounds formed bronze-green crystals. Their structures have been determined from single-crystal X-ray photographs using copper kα-radiation. Both compounds were found to crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c, details being as follows:
