Popis: A new copper(II) complex of an unsymmetrical tripodal ligand (NN2O222) derived from tris(2-aminoethylamine)amine (tren) by substitution of one aminoethyl group by an hydroxyethyl group has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallographic methods as [(NN2O222)Cu(ImH)](ClO4)2·0.5H2O (NN2O222 = 2-[bis(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethanol; ImH = imidazole). Crystals of the complex are orthorhombic, space group Pna21, with a = 29.983(10), b = 15.568(5), c = 8.127(3) A. Two similar monometallic cations exist in the asymmetric unit and in each case the Cu(II) ion is five-coordinate with tetragonally distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Variable-temperature magnetic measurements show that there is very weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the metal ions. Cyclic voltammetry indicates quasi-reversible CuII/CuI redox behavior at +44 mV vs SCE. An antimicrobial activity study found that the complex is active against Candida albican, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus pumilus, Klebosiella pneumoniae and Esche...
