A mono-condensed Schiff base ligand has been prepared as the Cu(II) compound, [Cu-2(L-1)(2)(N-3)(2)]center dot 2H(2)O (1) (HL1 = 1-(N-3-methoxysalicylaldimine)-2-aminoethane), by the reaction of 1,2-diaminoethane, Cu(II) perchlorate and 3-methoxysalicyaldehyde in a 1:1:1 ratio in methanol, followed by the reaction with a large excess of NaN3. In absence of NaN3, a di-condensed compartmental ligand has been trapped as its Cu(II) compound [Cu-2(L-2)(2)subset of(H3NC2H4NH3)][CuL2)(2)subset of(H3NC2H4NH3)](ClO4)(4) (2) (H2L2 = N,N'-ethylene-bis(3-methoxysalicylaldimine). Both compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, spectral and electrochemical studies and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In compound 2, Cu(II) has a square planar coordination geometry, while in 1, Cu(II) exhibits a distorted square pyramidal geometry (Addison parameter (tau) = 0.116). [CuL1(py)](ClO4) (3) is produced by following the preparation method of compound 1, but replacing NaN3 with pyridine. Formation of the compounds has been explained by an anion directed template effect. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
