Three new neutral complexes of copper(II) containing chalcone ligands derived from 2'-hydoxyacetophenone and 4-substituted benzaldehydes were synthesized. Complexes were preparedby solution synthesis and characterized by spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of complexes wasexamined in the reaction of 3,5-di-test-butyl catechol (DTBC) oxidation. The...
