Copper complexes of a family of pyridylmethylamide ligands HLPh, HLMe3 and HLPh3 were synthesized and characterized [HLPh= 2-phenyl-N-(2-pyridylmethyl) acetamide; HLMe3= 2, 2-dimethyl-N-(2-pyridylmethyl) propionamide; HLPh3= 2, 2, 2-triphenyl-N-(2- pyridylmethyl) acetamide]. The reaction of copper (II) salts with the HL family and triethylamine in methanol yields copper (II) complexes [Cu4 (LPh) 4 (OH) 2](ClO4) 2 (1),[ ...
