Abstract
Three isomeric Me8[14]anes, LA, LB and LC, undergo complexation with copper(II) salts to form a series of [CuLXn(H2O)x]Xy.(H2O)z complexes where L = LA, LB and LC; X = Cl, Br, NO3; n, x, y and z may have values of 0, 1 or 2. The complexes have been characterised on the basis of analytical, spectroscopic, magnetic and conductance data. Further, the X-ray crystal structure of one complex, [CuLB(OH2)2](NO3)2, has been determined. The antifungal activity of all three isomeric ligands and their complexes has been investigated against a range of phytopathogenic fungi.
