A Novel Dinuclear Copper(Ⅱ) Complex: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Properties and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis

A novel copper complex [Cu(L)(DMF)](1, HL =(1 Z,N?Z)-3,5-dibromo-N?-((3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)(hydroxy)methylene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazonic acid which was synthesized by in-situ oxidation reaction derived from Hhdb(Hhdb = 6,6?-((1 E,1?E)-hydrazine-1,2-diylidenebis(methanylylidene)) bis(2,4-dibromophenol)) has been synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis(CHN), TG and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The single crystal belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 13.538(1), b = 3.912(1), c = 23.778(1) ?, β = 105.232(5)o, Mr = 857.08, V = 1214.9(1) ?~3, Z = 2, Dc = 2.343 g/cm~3, F(000) = 824, μ = 8.375 mm, R = 0.0566, and w R = 0.1610. Compound 1 displays weak anti-ferromagnetic interactions through a η~1:η~1:η~1:η~1:η~1:η~1:μ-Lbridging mode. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that complex 1 was supported mainly by Br···H and H···H intermolecular interactions.
