TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the data for over nine hundred dimeric Cu(II) coordination compounds and found that the most common ligands are O− and N− donors.

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction of an ethanolic solution of N-salicylideneglycinatoaquacopper(II) hemihydrate with urea, pyridine, 2,4-dimethylpyridine and quinoline in an equimolar ratio resulted in solid products containing complexes of the type Cu(salgly)L with distorted square pyramidal coordination polyhedra.

TL;DR: The results showed that the copper(II) complexes could bind to DNA with an intercalative mode and the percentage of hypochromism is found to be over 70%

TL;DR: It follows that the structure and conformation of ligand has influence on the redox potential of central atom in coordination compound and the changes in the coordination sphere are connected with the change of biological function of compounds represented by SOD-mimic activity.
