Abstract
A mixed ligand copper(I) Schiff base complex [Cu(py-Clan)(PPh
3)I], where py-Clan = 4-chlorophenylpyridine-2-ylmethyleneamine, is synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. In this complex, the copper(I) ion is in a distorted four-coordinate tetrahedral geometry. The Schiff base py-Clan ligand acts as a chelating ligand and coordinates to the copper center via two nitrogen atoms. The [Cu(py-Clan)(PPh
3)I] complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group
