Synthesis and characterization of a new copper(II) complex with nadolol, an aminoalcoholic beta-blocker. Crystal structure of Na[Cu(nadololate)(CO(3))] center dot H(2)O

This work reports the synthesis and characterization of a new copper complex with nadolol, a beta-blocker aminoalcohol. The stoichiometry found was Na[Cu(nadololate)(CO(3))] center dot H(2)O. Electronic and vibrational spectroscopy analysis was performed, and the crystal structure of Na[Cu(nadololate)-(CO(3))] center dot H(2)O was determined by X-ray diffraction.
