(1-Methylimidazole)(N-salicylidene-rac-glutamato)copper(II)

Journal article, 2003

The title racemic compound, [Cu(C12H11NO5)(C4H6N2)], adopts a square-planar copper(II) coordination mode with the tridentate N-salicylidenglutamato Schiff base dianion and the 1-methylimidazole ligand. Dimers of centrosymmetrically related molecules are formed. The theoretical investigation of the electronic structure of the title compound by the B3LYP method is presented.
