Five new copper(II) coordination compounds were prepared by template synthesis, using curcumin, 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole and metal salt (copper chloride, bromide, acetate and nitrate) in 1:2:1 and 1:2:2 molar ratio. The complexes were characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analysis, IR, UV–Vis and mass spectroscopic methods and cyclic voltammetric studies. On the basis of physico-chemical measurements the following formulae have been assigned to the complexes: [Cu(H₂L)(H₂O)₂]Cl₂·H₂O, [CuL]·H₂O, [Cu(H₂L)(H₂O)Br]Br·5H₂O, [Cu₂L(H₂O)₄](NO₃)₂·2H₂O and [Cu₂(H₂L)(NO₃)₄]·H₂O, where H₂L is the hydrazone ligand formed in the reaction conditions. Metal complexes were tested for antioxidant activity by photochemiluminescence and this activity was quantified by comparison with TROLOX®, as standard. The results show that all complexes are more potent antioxidant agents than curcumin.

通过模板合成，使用姜黄素，2-肼基苯并噻唑和金属盐（氯化铜，溴化物，乙酸盐和硝酸盐）以1：2：1和1：2：2的摩尔比合成了五种新的铜（II）配位化合物。通过元素和热重分析，IR，UV-Vis和质谱方法以及循环伏安法研究对复合物进行表征。根据理化测量结果，对这些配合物指定了以下公式：[Cu（H ₂ L）（H ₂ O）₂ ] Cl ₂ ·H ₂ O，[CuL]·H ₂ O，[Cu（ H ₂ L）（H ₂ O）Br] Br·5H ₂ O，[Cu ₂ L（H ₂ O）₄]（NO ₃）₂ ·2H ₂ O和[Cu ₂（H ₂ L）（NO ₃）₄ ]·H ₂ O，其中H ₂ L是在反应条件下形成的配体。通过光化学发光测试了金属配合物的抗氧化活性，并通过与TROLOX®（作为标准品）进行比较来量化该活性。结果表明，所有复合物均比姜黄素更有效。
