Abstract

A new compound from the series of alkoxyketoiminates, Cu(II) bis-(2-methoxy-2,6-dimethyl-3-imino-5-heptanonate), has been synthesized and studied by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data for CuO4N2C20H36: a=10.154(1), b=9.921(1), c=11.684(2) Å, β=96.17(1)°, space group P21/c, Z=2, dcalc =1.226 g/cm3, R=0.037. The structure is molecular and built from isolated trans-complexes. The copper atom has a plane square environment of two oxygen atoms (Cu–O 1.93 Å) and two nitrogen atoms (Cu–N 1.90 Å). The O–Cu–N chelate angle is 91.7°. The complex has an intramolecular hydrogen bond, N–H...O 2.16 Å, involving the alkoxy oxygen atom. The molecular packing in the crystal is close to that of copper(II) dipivaloylmethanate. The calculated van der Waals intermolecular interaction energies and thermogravimetric characteristics of the complexes are compared.
