The syntheses, crystal structures and catalytic activities of two copper complexes are reported. Reaction of CuCl, 3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1, 5-a]pyridine and pyridine-4-formaldehyde under solvothermal conditions gave [Cu₄(L1)₂Cl₂][CuCl₂]₂ (1, L1 = 1, 1΄-(pyridin-4-ylmethylene)bis(3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1, 5-a]pyridine). The ligand L1 was generated in situ from the reaction of 3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1, 5-a]pyridine and pyridine-4-formaldhyde. The tetranuclear [Cu₄(L1)₂Cl₂]²⁺ moiety displays McClellan Saddle-like configuration. Reaction of Cu(BF₄)₂⋅6H₂O with 1, 1΄-(pyridin-4-ylmethylene)bis(3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1, 5-a]pyridine (L2) in glass tube generated [Cu(L2)(H₂O)₂]₂[BF₄]₂(SiF₆)⋅2H₂O (2). The structures of 1 and 2 were characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. The catalytic activities of 1 and 2 toward ketalization reactions were studied. They both exhibited high activities for the ketalization of aliphatic ketones by ethylene glycol.
