Abstract

An unusual copper(II) complex [Cu(L 1a ) 2 Cl 2 ] CH 3 OH·H 2 O·H 3 O + Cl ( 1a ) was isolated from a solution of a novel tricopper(II) complex [Cu 3 (HL 1 )Cl 2 ]Cl 3 ·2H 2 O ( 1 ) in methanol, where L 1a is 3-(2-pyridyl)triazolo[1,5-a]-pyridine, and characterized with single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The tricopper(II) complex of potential ligand 1,5-bis(di-2-pyridyl ketone) carbohydrazone (H 2 L 1 ) was synthesized and physico-chemically characterized, while the formation of the complex 1a was followed by time-dependant monitoring of the UV–visible spectra, which reveals degradation of ligand backbone as intensity loss of bands corresponding to O → Cu(II) charge transfer.
