In this study, two dicationic asymmetrical diamine/copper(II) nitrate salt complexes of the general formula trans-[Cu II (NN 0) 2 .H 2 O](NO 3) 2 were successfully synthesized using N,N-dimethylethylenediamine and N,N-diethylethylenediamine as asymmetrical diamine ligands. The structure of complex 2 was identified by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis confirming that the bidentate ligand N,N-dimethylethylenediamine forms a penta-coordinated complex with an H 2 O molecule located around the copper(II) ion in a trans configuration. It was found that the metal centre is coordinated in a distorted square pyramidal fashion with a t value of 0.274. The desired complexes were fully characterized using, MS, UVeVis, CV, FTIR, TG/DTA, and Hirshfeld surface computational analysis. High level theoretical calculations were also performed in order to investigate the complexes structure, conformers, vibrational frequencies, and their excited states.
