Description
Summary:In the title complex, [Cu(C17H19N2O2)(NCS)], the CuII atom is chelated by the phenolate O atom, the imine N atom and the amine N atom of the N,N′,O-tridentate 2-ethoxy-6-[(2-anilinoethyl)iminomethyl]phenolate ligand, and by the N atom of a thiocyanate anion, forming a distorted CuON3 square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of the ligand is 67.9 (4)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds occur, generating R22(8) loops.
