L] and its Cu(II) complex [Cu(L)] are synthesized and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Also, the computational prediction of optimized geometries, IR spectra and NMR chemical shifts is performed using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The DFT optimized geometry of the ligand is not planar, so the three benzene rings are located in separate planes. The phenolic protons are engaged in the intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. In the optimized geometry of the square comlex, dianionic L
