“…[18][19][20][21][22] Thus, these types of ligands can bind with one or two metal centers, enabling the successful synthesis of homo-and/or heteronuclear metal complexes with interesting stereochemistry. 20,[23][24][25] Complexes derived from compartmental ligands have been widely studied over the last decades especially due to their applications as models of different metalloproteins. [26][27][28][29] In order to extend the chemistry of the compartmental Schiff base compounds, in this work, the synthesis of a new ligand, 2,2 0 -((((((2-hydroxypropane-1,3-diyl)bis(oxy))bis(2,1-phenylene)) bis(methylene))bis(azanylylidene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(4bromophenol) (H 3 L Br , Scheme 1) and its complexes with cobalt(II), copper(II) and zinc(II), [Co(HL Br )] (1), [Cu 2 (L Br )(m-1,3-OAc)]$MeOH (2), [Zn(HL Br )] (3) are described, along with the characterization and theoretical studies.…”
