Recurrent π(arene)⋯π(chelate ring) motifs in four trinuclear CuII2MII (M = Cd/Zn) complexes derived from an unsymmetrical N2O2 donor ligand: structural and theoretical investigations

Detailed DFT calculations of four new trinuclear Cu2M (M = ZnII and CdII) complexes derived from a N2O2 donor unsymmetrical Schiff base ligand have been accomplished.

Facile synthesis of a new Cu(ii) complex with an unsymmetrical ligand and its use as an O3 donor metalloligand in the synthesis of Cu(ii)–Mn(ii) complexes: structures, magnetic properties, and catalytic oxidase activities

Four new heterometallic Cu(ii)–Mn(ii) complexes have been synthesised by using a Cu(ii) complex of an unsymmetrical Schiff base as O3 donor ligand; one of which is catalytically active towards catecholase and phenoxazinone synthase activities.

SMM behaviour of heterometallic dinuclear CuIILnIII (Ln = Tb and Dy) complexes derived from N2O3 donor unsymmetrical ligands

Four heterometallic dinuclear CuIILnIII (Ln = Tb and Dy) complexes derived from two different N2O3 donor unsymmetrical Schiff base ligands exhibit SMM behaviour.
