Monomer and cyclic tetramer of copper(II) complexes: Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure determination of [Cu(dm4bt)Cl(Hipht)] and [{Cu(dm4bt)(H₂O)(ipht)}₄·2H₂O]

چکیده مقاله

Copper complexes, [Cu(dm4bt)Cl(Hipht)] (1) and [{Cu(dm4bt)(H ₂O)(ipht)}₄·2H₂O] (2) (where dm4bt is 2,2′-dimethyl-4,4′-bithiazole, Hipht is hydrogen isophthalate and ipht is isophthalate) have been synthesized. These two complexes were characterized by IR, UV?Vis and EPR spectroscopy. Moreover; their single- crystal structures were studied by the X-ray diffraction method. Complex 1 has a monomer structure and copper has accepted a distorted square pyramidal structure. Isophthalic acid in 1 lost one of its protons and produced one bidentate carboxylate and one free carboxylic acid. Controlled deprotonation in the presence of ethylene diamine results in self-assemblies of 1 to form a tetramer complex of 2. Complex 2 has two kinds of spatial isomers which are resolved by EPR and X-ray. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
