Bis{[2-hydr­oxy-κO-1,1-bis­(hydroxy­meth­yl)ethyl­amino-κN]acetato-κO}copper(II)

The title compound, [Cu(C₆H₁₂NO₅)₂], was prepared from copper(II) acetate and N-[2-hydr­oxy-1,1-bis­(hydroxy­meth­yl)­eth­yl]­glycine. The copper ion is coordinated by two N and four O atoms from two N-[2-hydr­oxy-1,1-bis­(hydroxy­meth­yl)­ethyl]­glycine ligands, forming a distorted octa­hedral geometry. Extensive inter­molecular hydrogen bonding is observed in the crystal structure.

4-(4,4-Diphenyl­buta-1,3-dien­yl)-N,N-bis­(4-methyl­phen­yl)aniline

The title compound, C₃₆H₃₁N, was synthesized by the Wittig reaction of 1,1-diphenyl-3-cholopropyl­ene and 4-[N,N-bis­(4-methyl­phen­yl)amino]benzaldehyde. The butadiene structure has a planar transoid conformation.
