A diphenoxido-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(2)L(2)(ClO(4))(2)] (1), has been synthesized using a tridentate reduced Schiff base ligand, 2-[[2-(diethylamino)ethylamino]methyl]phenol (HL). The addition of triethylamine to the methanolic solution of this complex produced a novel triple bridged (double phenoxido and single hydroxido)

A potentially dodecadentate N8O4-donor ligand obtained from 2,2'-biimidazole and l-valine and its tetranuclear Cu(ii) complexes in different degrees of protonation were characterized by chemical and spectroscopic methods. The extensive solution studies performed reveal that the rise in pH media leads
