{1,1′-[Butane-1,4-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]di-2-naphtholato}copper(II) ethanol monosolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(C26H22N2O2)]·C2H5OH, comprises a Schiff base complex and an ethanol molecule of crystallization. The CuII atom shows a distorted square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 48.16 (13)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular π–π interactions with centroid–centroid distances in the range 3.485 (2)–3.845 (3) Å.
