Popis: In the framework of synchronous gas-phase electron diffraction and mass spectrometry experiment, the saturated vapor of N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylaldiminate) copper(II) CuO2N2C16H14 is studied at a temperature T 574(5) K. It is found that evaporation is congruent and the saturated vapor consists of monomeric molecules. Electron diffraction data are proved to correspond to the geometric model for the CuO2N2C16H14 molecule of C2 symmetry with an almost planar structure of the CuN2O2 coordination fragment and internuclear distances \( r_{h_1 } \)(Cu-O) = 1.917(13) A and \( r_{h_1 } \)(Cu-N) = 1.931(15) A. The stuctural parameters obtained are compared to those quantum chemically calculated and molecular parameters in crystals.
