The synthesis and characterization of metal complexes have garnered signifcant attention due to their versatile applications in scientifc and biomedical felds. In this research, two novel copper (Cu) complexes, [Cu(L)(L′)(H2O)2] (1) and [Cu(L)(Im)H2O] (2), where L=pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, L′ = 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine, and Im= imidazole, were investigated concerning their sonochemical synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, and biological activity. The complexes’ structural characterization was achieved using analytical techniques, including single-crystal X-ray structure determination, FTIR, PXRD, TGA and DTA, SEM, TEM, and EDS. Complex (1) displayed a sixcoordinated Cu2+ ion, while complex (2) exhibited a fve-coordinated Cu2+ ion. The crystal structures revealed monoclinic (C2/c) and triclinic (P-1) space groups, respectively. Both complexes showcased zero-dimensional (0D) supramolecular networks, primarily driven by hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions, which played pivotal roles in stabilizing the structures and shaping the unique supramolecular architecture. Both complexes demonstrated signifcant antioxidant activity, suggesting their capability to neutralize free radicals and mitigate oxidative stress-related diseases. Hemolysis percentages were less than 2%, per the ASTM F756-00 standard, indicating non-hemolytic behavior. Low cytotoxicity was observed against fbroblast and MCF-7 cell lines. They do not exhibit antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. These fndings suggest that the synthesized Cu2+‒complexes hold considerable promise for applications in drug delivery and cancer treatment. This research contributes to the advancement of supramolecular chemistry and the development of multifunctional materials for diverse scientifc and medical applications.
