Syntheses and structures of a phenoxo-bridged copper(II) distorted cubane and related complexes with 2-hydroxy-N-(2-pyridylalkyl)benzamide ligands
摘要:
Two new pyridylalkylamide ligands containing phenol groups appended to the amide, 2-hydroxy-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)benzamide (HLPhOH) and 2-hydroxy-N-(2-pyridylethyl)benzamide (HLPhOH'), were synthesized. Copper(II) complexes of these ligands were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, ESI-MS, FTIR, UV/Vis, and EPR spectroscopy. When basic Et3N was used to deprotonate the ligands, tetra-copper(II) [Cu-4(L-PhO)(4)] (1) or dicopper(II) [Cu-2(L-PhO')(2)(CH3OH)(2)] (3) were formed. When base was not used, mononuclear [Cu(HLPhOH)(2)Cl-2] (2) resulted. Complex 1 possesses a distorted cubane-like structure, with the ligands bridging via the phenoxo oxygen atoms, and the copper atoms possessing a distorted square planar geometry. The ligands in dimeric complex 3 also bridge between copper( II) atoms via the phenoxo oxygen atoms, and the copper atoms are square pyramidal. Monomeric 2 is a tetragonally distorted six-coordinate species with pyridyl N atoms and chloride ligands in the equatorial plane, and long interactions with the amide carbonyl O atoms in the axial positions.
