In the title compound, [CuCl(2)(C(11)H(17)N(3))], the Cu(II) ion is five-coordinated with a distorted square-pyramidal configuration. The three N atoms of the Schiff base ligand and one Cl atom are located in the basal plane, whereas the other Cl atom is apically positioned.

Silica nanoparticles linked through ionic liquid-like molecules are synthesized by two routes. The first approach utilized a bis(trialkoxysilyl)-substituted imidazolium iodide to link the silica nanoparticles. In the second approach, the silica nanoparticles were first modified by 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane and N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)imidazole and then coupled through nucleophilic subst...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(18)H(21)NO(2), the two benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 58.19 (3)°. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of one six- and one five-membered ring, which adopt twist and envelope conformations, respectively. In the crystal structure, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules.
