The quinazoline-type ligand 2-(3-ethoxy-2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-1,-2-dihydroquinazolin 3-oxide (HL 1 , H is the deprotonatable hydrogen) was synthesized. Two mono-and dinuclear Cu (II) complexes, [Cu(L 2 ) 2 ]Á2CH 3 OH (1),amino}phenyl)ethanone oxime), were obtained via complexation of HL 1 with Cu (II) acetate monohydrate or Cu (II) nitrate trihydrate in methanol. HL 1 and both complexes were characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopic methods. The structures of complexes were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and the ratio of ligand to metal in 1 was 2:1 whereas 2 was 1:1. In the crystal structures, hexa-coordinated Cu (II) complex 1 was assembled into an infinite 1-D, 2-D network and 3-D supramolecular framework. Complex 2 included four deprotonated (L 2 ) À units, four coordinated Cu (II) and two coordinated nitrate anions, forming an infinite 2-D layer and interesting butterfly-shaped 3-D supramolecular skeleton. Specifically, the Cu1 and Cu4 centers were four-coordinated, while the Cu2 and Cu3 centers were penta-coordinated in 2. Furthermore, electrochemical properties and antibacterial activities of both complexes were also investigated. In addition, the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of 1 and 2 were also studied. The optimal geometries, HOMO-LUMO energies and molecular electrostatic potential diagrams of two complexes were calculated using density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP, and specific electronic transitions in the UVvis spectra of 1 and 2 were recorded by time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations. Additionally, the noncovalent interactions between both complexes were also confirmed by Hirshfeld surfaces.
