Abstract
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
