Abstract Mono- and binuclear copper(II) complexes with atenolol (HAt) can be obtained, depending on the reaction conditions. The mononuclear violet complex cation has the general formula Cu(HAt)4 2+ with an elongated octahedral geometry. The two ligands in the equatorial plane are bound in a bidentate fashion through the hydroxyl oxygen and amino nitrogen, while the other two atenolol molecules in axial position are coordinated in a monodentate way. The binuclear green complex Cu2At2Cl2, is neutral, where atenolol acts as a bidentate (O−, NH) bridging ligand. The bridge between the two Cu atoms is realized by the deprotonated oxygen of the alcohol group.
