In this paper the Cu(II)–bis‐(glycinato) complex has been analysed in solution by applying a combined approach of multifrequency EPR and DFT/PCM calculations. The accuracy in the determination of magnetic parameters has been reached by the use of a unique simulation program (COSMOS) for the whole range of temperatures analysed and by the error analysis. A change in magnetic parameters was envisaged in the 243–253 K range of temperature, and was interpreted in terms of stabilization, near the freezing point of the solution, of one of the isomers of the complex. A DFT/PCM computational model was crucial in assigning, on the basis of the experimental superhyperfine interaction value, the isomer to the trans form. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
