Abstract

Cu (II) complexes of three tridentate ligands, L1, L2 and L3,[L1, N-((1H-imidazole-2-yl) methyl)-2-(pyridine-2-yl) ethanamine; L2, N-((1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl) methyl)-2- (pyridine-2-yl) ethanamine; L3, 2-(pyridine-2-yl)-N-((pyridine-2-yl) methyl) ethanamine] respectively, were synthesized and characterized. The single crystal X-ray structure of complex 1 reveals the pseudo octahedral coordination geometry around the copper ...
