Structural Investigation of Schiff Base Ligand and Dinuclear Copper Complex: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Computational, and Latent Fingerprint Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The structural studies of the fluorinated Schiff base ligand and its copper complex were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, UV-visible, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis unveils a dinuclear copper complex arising from double bridging acetate anions to copper ions that are chelated by the tridentate Schiff base ligand Cu(LS). The trigonality index τ₅ of 0.080 indicates a distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry for the metal. The SL ligand and complex exhibit intra- and intermolecular interactions, leading to unique supramolecular architectures. The structural changes between the free halogenated Schiff base ligand and upon coordination with the metal were extensively studied by experimental and theoret
