Bis{2-methoxy-6-[(3-methoxypropyl)iminomethyl]phenolato-κ2 N,O 1}copper(II)

The title complex, [Cu(C12H16NO3)2], adopts a distorted square-planar coordination geometry with the CuII ion situated on a crystallographic inversion center. The two Schiff base ligands are coordinated in a trans fashion. In the crystal structure, non-classical intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the ether O atoms link the Schiff base molecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to (101).
