Abstract
In the present work, we report a neutral dinuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(2)(L(1))(OH)], derived from a new [N,O] donor Schiff base ligand L(1) that was formed after the endogenous hydroxylation of an initial carbamate Schiff base H(2)L coordinated with copper ions in an electrochemical cell. The copper(II) complex has been fully characterized using different techniques, including X-ray diffraction. Direct current (DC) magnetic susceptibility measurements were also performed at variable temperatures, showing evidence of antiferromagnetic behavior. Its catalase-like activity was also tested, demonstrating that this activity is affected by temperature.
