2-(2-(1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-3-yl) diazenyl)-4-(4, 5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl) phenol (L) is a ligand synthesized by the azo coupling reaction of 1, 2, 4-triazole-3-diazonium chloride with 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxazoline. The synthesis and characterization of di-nuclear Cu(II) complex derived from ‘L’ has been described. The complex was prepared in good yield by the reactions of ‘L’ with hydrated copper (II) chloride. IR, NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques were used to characterize the precursors: Methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate, N-2-hydroxyethyl-4-hydroxybenzamide, 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxazoline and the ligand, ‘L’. The complex was characterized by magnetic susceptibility, UV-Vis spectroscopy, IR, conductance measurement and chloride estimation method. Distorted octahedral geometry was proposed for this bi-nuclear complex.
