The 22.3-GHz continuum emission of the Sgr C complex was observed using the Nobeyama MIllimeter Array. It was found that the Sgr C complex has a U-shaped ridge comprasing several clumpy features as well as shell-like features. The spectral index of these features suggests optically thin thermal emission embedded in the nonthermal component. A barlike structure, noticed in a previous 1.7-GHz continuum observation, is already very weak at 22.3 GHz. The steep spectrum of this barlike structure is consistent with a nonthermal origin. The Sgr C complex is located at the end of the elongated molecular cloud in the Galactic center region. The close relations of morphology and velocity between the Sgr C complex and the molecular cloud suggest that the Sgr C complex is an H II region physically interacting with the molecular cloud in the Galactic center region.
