Three newly synthesized copper(II) complexes with the general formula [CuL], where L is the dianionic form ofN,N '-bis(3,5-difluorosalicylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine (H2L1) for1,N,N '-bis(3,5-difluorosalicylidene)propane-1,3-diamine (H2L2) for2, andN,N '-bis(3,5-difluorosalicylidene)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine (H2L3) for3, have been obtained and structurally characterized by spectroscopic method and single-crystal X-ray determination. The Cu atoms in the complexes are in square planar coordination, with the two imino N and two phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligands. Thein vitroantimicrobial activities of the compounds indicate that they are interesting antibacterial agents.
