It is revealed that complexes 1～3 have dinuclear structures, while 4 possesses a one-dimensional （1-D） chain structure, which extends in two orthogonal orientations. In 1～4, the coordination numbers of Cu（Ⅱ） centers range from four to six, which may be attributed to the different geometries and coordination abilities of the ligands and anions. The L^1 ligand in complexes 1 and 2 adopts a tridentate di-chelating coordination mode, whereas ligand HL^2 in complexes 3 and 4 has a bidentate bridging coordination mode. The different coordination modes of these two ligands may be explained by the different charges of nitrogen donor atoms in the benzotriazole ring, which has been investigated by density functional theory （DFT） calculations.
