Abstract: A cu(II)-paracetamol complex was synthesized and characterized using UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy and melting point analysis. The ligand paracetamol acted as a tridentate chelating agent, coordinating through the hydroxyl, carbonyl, and amine groups. The complex was found to be more soluble in DMSO. Job's method of continuous variation suggested a 1:2 metal-to-ligand stoichiometry. The synthesized Cu(II) complex was evaluated for CO2 adsorption performance, demonstrating promising uptake capacity due to the strong affinity of the metal center for CO2 molecules.
