{1,1'-[Butane-1,4-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]di-2-naphtho-lato}copper(II) ethanol monosolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C(26)H(22)N(2)O(2))]·C(2)H(5)OH, comprises a Schiff base complex and an ethanol mol-ecule of crystallization. The Cu(II) atom shows a distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 48.16 (13)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and inter-molecular π-π inter-actions with centroid-centroid distances in the range 3.485 (2)-3.845 (3) Å.
