Abstract
. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the semi-coordination analysis using IGM was carried out for a copper(ii) complex with axial elongation, finding a good correlation between the bond length and the IBSI, and the study was extended for a series of analogous complexes described in the literature.
