Abstract

This study presents the synthesis and characterization of a copper complex using a range of analytical techniques. The synthesized complex was confirmed via IR spectroscopy and further characterized by X-ray diffraction, which revealed a monoclinic crystal system with the Pī space group. Both internal and external hydrogen bonding interactions were observed. Notably, the complex exhibited significant π-π interactions between the phenyl rings of the L1 ligand’s triazine ring and the adjacent triazine ring in the crystal lattice. Hirshfeld surface analysis highlighted that H···H interactions contributed over 50% to the overall surface interactions, with hydrogen bonding accounting for 13.6%. These findings provide valuable insights into the structural and interactional properties of copper complexes, which could pave the way for the development of novel materials with unique properties. Potential applications in catalysis, electronics, and medicine are discussed. This research not only enhances our understanding of copper complex interactions but also sets the stage for future studies exploring the synthesis of copper complexes with advanced functional properties.
