One binuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu2(L1) 2(N3)2] (1), and a trinuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu3(L2)3(μ1,1N3) 2](ClO4) (2), of two potentially tridentate NNO-donor Schiff base ligands, [2-(1-(2-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)hydrazono)ethyl) phenol] (HL1) and [2-((2-(4,6-dimethyl pyrimidin-2-yl) hydrazono) methyl) phenol] (HL2), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, UV-Vis IR spectroscopy, DFT and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The ligands HL1 and HL2 are [1 + 1] condensation products of 2-hydrazino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine with 2-hydroxy acetophenone and salicylaldehyde respectively. In 1, the two Cu(II) centers are bridged by μ-phenoxo groups. In 2, the three Cu(II) centers are held together by two μ1,1 bridging azide ions and a phenoxo oxygen atom which binds the three metal centers and behaves as a μ3-O atom. The geometries of the complexes have been optimized using the UB3LYP level of theory. The calculation confirms that all the copper centers are five coordinate with distorted square pyramidal geometries, which is consistent with the experimental data.
