Abstract Reaction of the chiral ligands (1S, 4S)-2, 5-bis (6-methylpyridyl)-diazabicyclo [2.2. 1] heptane (L 1) and (1S, 4S)-2, 5-bis (1-methyl-2-methylbenzimidazolyl)-diazabicyclo [2.2. 1] heptane (L 2) with CuCl 2 results in the hydroxo-bridged dicopper complexes [(L 1) Cu 2 (μ-OH)(H 2 O) Cl 3](3), and [(L 2) Cu 2 (μ-OH)(H 2 O) Cl 3](4). Both chiral complexes were characterized spectroscopically, and 3 in the solid state by X-ray crystallography, ...
