Synthesis and structural characterization of a carboxylate bridged tetranuclear copper complex derived from reduced Schiff base asymmetric compartmental ligand containing an amino acid side arm

An asymmetric compartmental reduced Schiff base ligand having an amino acid side arm (see the picture) goes to a carboxylate bridged tetranuclear Cu(II) complex, on treatment with Cu(CH3COO)2 · H2O.
