Description
Summary:In the title complex, [Cu(C18H12F6N2O4)]·0.5C6H6O2, the CuII ion has a square-planar coordination geometry, being ligated by two N and two O atoms of the tetradentate open-chain Schiff base ligand 6,6′-{(1E,1′E)-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanylylidene)]bis(methanylylidene)}bis[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenol]. The crystal packing is stabilized by intramolecular O—H...O and intermolecular C—H...F, C—H...O and C—H...π hydrogen bonds. In addition, weak π–π interactions form a three-dimensional structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were performed and created to analyze the intermolecular interactions present in the crystal, indicating that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from F...H/H...F (25.7%), H...H (23.5%) and C...H/H...C (12.6%) interactions.
