Nitrato-4-bromo-2-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenolatoimidazolecopper and nitrato-4-chloro-2-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenolatoimidazolecopper were synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are isostructural. The coordination polyhedron of the copper atom can be described as a distorted square pyramid whose basal plane is formed by the phenolic and alcoholic oxygen atoms and the nitrogen atom of the monodeprotonated tridentate azomethine molecule and the imidazole nitrogen atom. The apex of the copper polyhedron is occupied by the oxygen atom of the nitrato group. The complexes are linked together by hydrogen bonds with the participation of the nitrato groups to form a three-dimensional framework.
