Abstract
Abstract Four members of a new series of paddle-wheel copper(II) complexes bearing cyclobutanecarboxylate as bridging ligand with pyridine derived ligands in axial positions are reported. They have been characterised by FTIR-ATR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The synthesis is straight-forward by combining the carboxylic acid, copper(II) acetate, and a slight excess of a pyridine ligand. The molecular structures of three complexes reveal a coordination mode expected for such type of dinuclear copper(II) carboxylates. Graphic abstract
