The new complex Cu[L¹]Cr₂O₇has been synthesised with the N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethylene) butane-1,4-diamine Schiff base L1, [NC₅H₄CH=N(CH₂)₄N=CHC₅H₄N], and characterised with elemental analyses and different spectroscopic and electrochemical studies. The structure of the new complex has been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallises in the monoclinic system with space group P2₁/c having cell parameters a = 14.7(5), b = 9.22(2), c = 16.2(5) Å , β = 116.9(1)°, and Z = 4. The Cr₂O₇²⁻ unit is bonded through one terminal oxygen donor end to the central Cu(II) chelated by the Schiff base ligand.
