Abstract:
In the title compound, [Cu(C(21)H(16)BrN(3)O(4))]·CH(3)OH, the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two N [Cu-N = 1.814 (3) and 1.917 (3) Å] and two O [Cu-O = 1.805 (3) and 1.893 (3) Å] atoms from the tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal structure, the approximately planar Cu complex mol-ecules are paired into centrosymmetric dimers with short inter-molecular Cu⋯N distances of 3.162 (3) Å. Weak O---H...O hydrogen bonds may help to stabilize the structure.
