9-O-(4-carboxybenzyl)berberine (CBB) 1 was synthesized from the reaction of berberrubine with methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate and subsequent hydrolysis. Its Cu(II) complex 2 was prepared from the reaction with Cu(NO(3))(2)·3H(2)O, and established as [Cu(CBB)(2)](NO(3))(2)·2H(2)O by means of (1)H NMR, UV, IR, elemental analysis
