Two Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(L1)(NO3)]·CH3CH2OH (1) and [Cu2(L2)2] (2), were isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography, FTIR, UV–vis, and fluorescence spectroscopies. Structural analyses showed that 1 is a mononuclear species, whereas 2 is a binuclear entity. Spontaneous cleavage along the oxime N-O bond close to quinoline ring of the ligand HL1 occurred upon reaction with Cu(OAc)2·H2O, yielding an unexpected complex 2. Moreover, DFT theoretical calculations and Hirshfeld surfaces analyses of the ligand HL1 and its corresponding Cu(II) complexes were investigated in detail.
