A pyrazole-containing copper coordination framework : an investigation into its Hirshfeld surface analysis, magnetic behavior and biological activity

The properties of pyrazole-based systems have been widely investigated due to their chelating ability with metallic ions as terminal ligands, bridging ligands and precursors for the design of several multi-nitrogen ligands for coordination, bioinorganic and organometallic chemistry [1], in order to build up new coordination polymeric networks and metal-organic frameworks. Additionally, they are well known for their spin-crossover behavior and their biological and medicinal properties as analgesic, anti-inflammatory agents [2], etc. As a contribution to what has been previously reported, we will be describing herein, for the first time, the magnetic properties and antimicrobial activity of a pyrazole-based copper complex [3]. Furthermore, the Hirshfeld surfaces and the 2D-figerprint graphics [4] allowing the understanding of the properties and the occurrence of each intermolecular contact around the studied complex molecules will be discussed exclusively in detail.
