Abstract

Coordination chemistry- the clothing of metal ion, is a branch of inorganic chemistry which encompasses chemistry, biology, environment and material science having a direct relevance to life of a human being. Supramolecular chemistry- looking beyond a molecule has developed as a full fledged discipline out of coordination chemistry and consists of two facets: crystal engineering and molecular recognition. It involves role of non-covalent interactions like hydrogen bonding, π⋯π stacking etc. in stabilizing supramolecular assemblies. Copper is one of the essential elements of life. Its deficiency or excess causes diseases such as Parkinson, Alzimer, Wilson disease etc. Therefore, the synthesis and characterization of small molecule copper(II) complexes is a topic of immense interest to inorganic chemists so as to understand the role of copper in biological system and its applications in synthesis, chirality transfer, spin cross-over etc. With this in mind, in this review, we present our recent findings in developing synthetic methodologies and single crystal X-ray structural studies of copper(II) complexes of arylcarboxylates/ -sulfonates/ NSAIDs with various nitrogen-donor ligands.
