New copper complexes with two structural isomeric ligands, 2-(indazol-1-yl)-2-thiazoline (TnInA) and 2-(indazol-2-yl)-2-thiazoline (TnInL), have been synthesized and characterized by magnetic measurements, IR, electronic and EPR spectroscopies. Moreover, the molecular structures of [Cu(NO3)(TnInA)2(H2O)](NO3) · (H2O) (1) and [Cu(NO3)2(TnInL)(H2O)] (2) have been resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In compound 1 the copper ion is in a distorted octahedral geometry, with the equatorial plane formed by four nitrogen donor atoms from two organic ligands and the axial positions occupied by two oxygen atoms from a water molecule and a mono-coordinated nitrate anion. The coordination geometry around the copper atom in compound 2 can be described basically as a square pyramid with two nitrogen atoms from TnInL ligand, one oxygen atom from a water molecule and one oxygen atom from a nitrate group in the equatorial plane. The axial position is occupied by one oxygen atom from a nitrate group. Likewise, a second oxygen atom from the last nitrate group in equatorial position might involve in a weak sixth coordination position to give a (4 + 1 + 1∗) coordination mode.
