(1-{2-[2-(2-Ammonioethylamino)ethylamino]ethyliminomethyl}-2-naphtholato-k4O,N,N′,N") chloridocopper(II) chloride

In the square-pyramidal title complex, [CuCl(C17H24N4O)]Cl, the Cu-II atom is coordinated by three N atoms [Cu-N 1.946 (2), 2.010 (2), 2.085 (3) angstrom], one O atom [Cu-O 1.910 (2) angstrom] and one apical Cl atom [Cu-Cl 2.6437 (9) angstrom]. The three coordinated N and one O atom are almost coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0268 angstrom. The tetradentate ligand forms two five-membered (N-Cu-N) and one six-membered (N-Cu-O) chelate rings with bite angles of 84.06 (10), 85.30 (10) and 91.70 (9)degrees, respectively. The two N-Cu -N chelate rings are non-planar.
