Three Cu(II) coordination compounds with 4-methyl imidazole were obtained, such as [Cu(C4H6N2)4(NO3)2], [Cu(C4H6N2)4Br2], and [Cu(C4H6N2)4Cl2]. Crystallographic studies confirmed their structural similarity with Cu(II) in the active site of endogenous copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD). The superoxide anion radical (O2•-) scavenging activity was evaluated by the non-enzymatic experimental assay and followed the trend [Cu(C4H6N2)4(NO3)2] [Cu(C4H6N2)4Br2] [Cu(C4H6N2)4Cl2]. The density functional theory and the hard
