Template synthesis, DNA binding, antimicrobial activity, Hirshfeld surface analysis, and 1D helical supramolecular structure of a novel binuclear copper(ii) Schiff base complex.

ABSTRACT: A new binuclear copper(ii) Schiff base complex [Cu₂ L₂ ^- (NO₃)₂]·2CH₃OH (1) [L = 2,6-bis((E)-(p-tolylimino)methyl)-4-methoxyphenol] was synthesized using a template method in which the tridentate N₂O Schiff base ligand was derived from [1 + 2] condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-methoxyphenol and p-methyl aniline in the presence of copper(ii) ions as the template agent. The X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that this complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P2₁/n. The most remarkable structural feature of 1 is that it contains two types of 1D right-handed helical chains. The molecules are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π⋯π interactions,
