The salicylaldehyde semicarbazonate anion O,N,O-chelates to the Cu atom in the title compound, bis[μ-2-(semicarbazonomethyl)phenolato]-1κ3O3,N1,O:2κO;1κO:2κ3O3,N1,O-bis[(formato-κO)copper(II)] [Cu2(C8H8N3O2)2(CHO2)2], the N and O atoms occupying three sites of the square-planar environment around it. The fourth site is occupied by the negatively charged O atom of the formate anion. Two molecules are bridged through the phenoxy O atom across a center of symmetry to give a dinuclear compound, so that the Cu atom exists in a square-pyramidal geometry [Cu←Ophenoxy = 2.546 (1) A in the apical position]. Hydrogen bonds link the dinuclear molecules into a three-dimensional network architecture. |
