Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (1H-imidazole- κ N3)[4-methyl-2-({[2-oxido-5-(2-phenyldiazen-1-yl)phenyl]methylidene}amino)pentanoate- κ 3O,N,O ′ ]copper(II)

The title copper(II) complex, [Cu(C18H19N3O3)(C3H4N2)], consists of a tridentate ligand synthesized from l-leucine and azobenzene-salicylaldehyde. One imidazole molecule is additionally coordinated to the copper(II) ion in the equatorial plane. The crystal structure features N — H...O hydrogen bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the packing are from H...H (52.0%) and C...H/H...C (17.9%) contacts.
