Cu (II) complexes of eight N, N, O-donor hydrazone ligands, obtained by condensation of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde and 2-acetylpyridine with four aroyl hydrazides, are reported. Reactions of Cu (ClO4) 2· 6H2O with the pyridine-2-carbaldehyde hydrazones (L1H, L2H, L3H, L4H) in presence of Et3N, in 1: 2: 2 molar ratio, lead to isolation of mononuclear octahedral Cu (II) complexes of formula [Cu (L) 2](L= L1−, L2−, L3−, L4−). However, for the ...
