Chlorido[N′-(2-oxidobenzil­idene)acetohydrazide-κ2 O,N′,O′]copper(II) dihydrate

In the title complex, [Cu(C9H9N2O2)Cl]·2H2O, prepared from the Schiff base ligand N′-(2-hydroxy­benzil­idene)aceto­hydrazide and copper(II) chloride, the CuII atom is coord­inated by two O atoms and one N atom from the ligand and by a Cl atom in a distorted square-planar geometry. The two donor O atoms of the tridentate Schiff base ligand are in a trans arrangement. In the crystal structure, there is an extensive inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding network; N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl inter­actions, involving the uncoordinated water mol­ecules, lead to the formation of a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane

{μ-N,N′-Bis[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene]benzene-1,2-diamine}di-μ-chlorido-bis[diaquanickel(II)] dichloride ethanol disolvate

In the title compound, [Ni2Cl2(C20H18N4)(H2O)4]Cl2·2C2H6O, the coordination environment of each Ni2+ ion is distorted octa­hedral formed by two N atoms from the Schiff base ligand, two O atoms from water mol­ecules and two chloride anions acting as μ2 bridges between the metal ions. The coordinated water mol­ecules are linked to the uncoordinated ethanol mol­ecules and chloride anions by O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, although the assignment of some of these is tentative. A weak inter­molecular O—H⋯N inter­action within the ligand is also observed

The cocrystal μ-oxalato-κ4O1,O2:O1′,O2′-bis(aqua(nitrato-κO){[1-(2-pyridyl-κN)ethylidene]hydrazine-κN}copper(II)) μ-oxalato-κ4O1,O2:O1′,O2′-bis((methanol-κO)(nitrato-κO){[1-(2-pyridyl-κN)ethylidene]hydrazine-κN}copper(II)) (1/1)

The title cocrystal, [Cu2(C2O4)(NO3)2(C7H9N3)2(H2O)2][Cu2(C2O4)(NO3)2(C7H9N3)2(CH4O)2], is a 1:1 cocrystal of two centrosymmetric CuII complexes with oxalate dianions and Schiff base ligands. In each molecule, the CuII centre is in a distorted octahedral cis-CuN2O4 environment, the donor atoms of the N,N′-bidentate Schiff base ligand and the bridging O,O′-bidentate oxalate group lying in the equatorial plane. In one molecule, a monodentate nitrate anion and a water molecule occupy the axial sites, and in the other, a monodentate nitrate anion and a methanol molecule occupy these sites. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H...O, O—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a network. Weak intramolecular N—H...O interactions are also observed
