Crystal structure of bis-[2-(benzo-thia-zol-2-yl)phenolato-κ(2) N,O]copper(II)

In the title complex, [Cu(C13H8NOS)2], the Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two bidentate benzo-thia-zolphenolate ligands, forming a distorted tetra-hedral geometry [dihedral angle between two N-Cu-O planes: 45.1 (2)°]. The dihedral angles between the benzo-thia-zole ring systems and the phenol rings are 4.1 (4) and 5.8 (4)°, indicating an almost planar geometry. Weak intra- and inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal, weak π-π inter-actions between aromatic and thia-zole rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.626 (3) and 3.873 (3) Å] link the mol-ecules into a two-dimensional supra-molecular network along the bc plane.
