Chlorido{μ-2,6-bis­[(2-amino­eth­yl)imino­meth­yl]-4-chloro­phenolato}-μ-oxido-dicopper(II) trihydrate

In the title dinuclear complex, [Cu(2)(C(14)H(20)ClN(4)O)ClO]·3H(2)O, one Cu(II) cation assumes a distorted square-planar coordination geometry and the other a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. Both Cu(II) cations are N,N′,O-chelated by one arm of the 2,6-bis­[(2-amino­eth­yl)imino­meth­yl]-4-chloro­phenolate anion, and one oxide anion bridges the two Cu(II) cations, forming a dinuclear complex. One of the Cu(II) cations is further coordinated by an Cl(−) anion in the apical direction. In the crystal, lattice water mol­ecules are linked with the complex mol­ecule via O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds while O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding occurs between lattice water mol­ecules , forming three-dimensional network structure.
