{N-[(2-Oxido-1-naphth­yl)methyl­idene]­serinato-κ3 O,N,O′}(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)copper(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cu(C14H11NO4)(C12H8N2)], the tridentate Schiff base ligand is derived from the condensation of 2-hydr­oxy-1-naphthaldehyde and l-serine. The CuII atom is five-coordinated by one N atom and two O atoms from the Schiff base ligand and by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, the combination of inter­molecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds results in a two-dimensional network structure parallel to (001)
