Two mononuclear Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(phen)(HL)]ClO·HO·2DMF () and [Cu(phen)(HL)]·EtOH (), comprising 1,10-phentantroline (phen) and 2-(1-tetrazol-5-yl)-1-indole ligand (HL) ligands are reported. Analysis and characterization of the samples were performed using standard physicochemical techniques, elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography revealed the formation of a pentacoordinate complex in and a hexacoordinate complex in , in which the anionic ligand HL has undergone monodentate coordination through the tetrazole unit. Furthermore, the crystal structure of HL·MeOH is also discussed. The potential application of compounds and in bioinorganic chemistry was addressed by investigating their radical scavenging activity with the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and the results were supported also by theoretical calculations.
