A dinuclear copper(II) complex and a zigzag chain iron(II) polymer based on the 4-antipyrine derived Schiff base ligands: The hydroxylation and redox occurred under the solvothermal conditions

A new dinuclear copper(II) compound, [Cu2(L1-O)2] (1) (L1 = (4E)-4-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-1,2-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one), and zigzag chain polymer, {[FeCl2(L2)]}n (2) (L2 = 1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-{[(1E)-pyridine-4-ylmethylene]amino}-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one), were synthesized by solvothermal reactions and structurally characterized. The methyl group hydroxylation and the redox have been observed in the preparation of 1 and 2, respectively.
