Novel copper(II) complexes of curcumin Knoevenagel condensates and their Schiff bases have been synthesized and characterized. All copper complexes possess distorted square‐planar geometries with 1:1 metal to ligand stoichiometry capable of stabilizing Cu2+/Cu1+ redox couples in the range 0.34 to 0.40 V. ESR spectral features are consistent with g>g>2.0 suggesting monomeric nature of copper complexes having dx 2 −y 2 ground state.
