The copper complex Cu（C12H9N2O3）2 has been synthesized by the reaction of furaldehyde salicylylhydrazone （Hfs） and copper acetylacetonate and characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction and spectroscopic studies.

The copper atom has a square-planar CuN2O2 coordination and should be in an octahedral coordination if considering Cu-O （phenol） with distances of 2.796（2）A as weak bonds. The neighboring copper complex molecules are linked together by these weak Cu-O （phenol） bonds, resulting in an extended 1D chain. The title compound exhibits paramagnetic property and fluorescence behavior at room temperature supported by the EPR and fluorescence spectra.
Two complexes, Cu（HnicO）2 1 and Ni（HnicO）2（H2O）2 2 （H2nicO = 2-hydroxynicolinic acid）, were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and structurally characterized.

There are extended 3D framework structures in complexes 1 and 2 due to the N-H…O and C-H…O hydrogen bonds. The copper atom in 1 has square planar coordination, while the nickel atom in 2 adopts octahedral coordination geometry. The TG curve shows that complex 2 is stable in solid state to 150 ℃.
