Three new Cu(II) complexes, Cu(1,3-bip)(Ac)2 (I), {[Cu(H2O)2(1,3-bip)2] · (NO3)2}n (II), {[Cu(1,3-bip)(1,4-bdc)]2 · H2O · MeOH}n (III), where 1,3-bip is 1,3-bis(imidazole)propane and 1,4-bdc is terephthalic acid, have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the complex I shows a zero-dimensional architecture, the complex II shows a one-dimensional loop-like chain, and the complex III shows a two-dimensional (4,4) grid layer structure. In addition, the thermal stability of complexes was investigated.
