Abstract
Five copper(II) complexes [CuLCl](2).CuCl(2).4H(2)O (1), [CuLOAc] (2), [CuLNO(3)](2) (3), [CuLN(3)] (4) and [CuLNCS].3/2H(2)O (5) of di-2-pyridyl ketone-N(4)-phenyl-3-semicarbazone (HL) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and electronic, infrared and EPR spectral techniques. In all these complexes the semicarbazone undergoes deprotonation and coordinates through enolate oxygen, azomethine and pyridyl nitrogen atoms. All the complexes are EPR active due to the presence of an unpaired electron. EPR spectra of all the complexes in DMF at 77K suggest axial symmetry and the presence of half field signals for the complexes 1 and 3 indicates dimeric structures.
