Abstrakt: The reaction of M(OAc)2 with 2,2′-bis(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl (H2L1) allows the synthesis of 2,2′-bis(2-oxidobenzylideneamino)-4,4′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl complexes of Cu(II) (CuL1), Co(II) (CoL1) and Ni(II) (NiL1) that were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and for CuL1 also by X-ray crystallography verifying a tetradentate binding mode of L1 via an (ONNO) motif of the two phenolic oxygen atoms and two azomethine nitrogen atoms. Recrystallization from a solvent mixture of dichloromethane and methanol promotes the formation of methanol adducts. Different binding modes of the methanol–complex were investigated using density functional theory calculations and binding energies, and thermodynamic data of the interaction are reported. The results show that the favored interaction occurs when the methanol molecule acts as a Lewis acid weakly binding via an O–H···O hydrogen bridge to a phenoxide moiety leading to an elongation of the respective M–O bond.
