Abstract

A new three-dimensional supramolecule composed of copper-Schiff base complex, [Cu(naphdien)]Cl·H2O, where naphdien is Schiff base of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and diethylenetriamine, has been synthesized and determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c, with a = 7.3490(15), b = 7.0847(16), c = 30.845(3) Å, β = 95.33(3)°, V= 1599.0(5) Å3, Z = 4, C15H20ClCuN3O2, Mr = 373.33, Dc = 1.551 g/cm3, μ = 1.543 mm-1, F(000) = 772, R = 0.0536 and wR = 0.0927 for 2788 unique reflections with 1659 observed ones (I >2σ(I)). In the crystal structure, mononuclear units [Cu(naphdien)]Cl·H2O are linked into a two-dimensional framework via strong hydrogen bonds, and extended into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure through π-π stacking interactions.
