A rare homotrinuclear CuII salamo-based complex [Cu3(L)2(?-OAc)2(H2O)2]·2CHCl3·5H2O was prepared through the reaction of a non-symmetric ligand H2L and Cu(OAc)2·H2O, validated by elemental analyses, UV-Visible absorption, fluorescence infrared spectra, molecular simulation single-crystal X-ray analysis techniques. It is shown that three atoms two wholly deprotonated (L)2? moieties form together...
