Oxidative coupling reaction of benzylamine to imine has been achieved with almost 90%yield under very mild reaction condition by applying a novel binuclear Cu(II) complex as a catalyst. Binuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu2(2,3-pydc)1(2,2ꞌ-bpy)4](ClO4)2.2H2O [A] has been synthesised using the ligands 2,3- pyridinedicarboxylic acid (2,3-pydc) and 2,2ꞌ-Bipyridine (2,2ꞌ-bpy). The newly synthesised catalyst has been characterised by using single crystal X-ray diffraction study (SCXRD), UV-Vis spectroscopy, IR-spectroscopy and elemental analysis.
