Copper(II) complexes of ligands derived from tryptamine
摘要:
Three new ligands with all indole substituent tethered to a pyridylalkylamine or imidazolylalkylamine metal-binding domain have been prepared from tryptamine. Copper(II) complexes have been prepared and characterized, three by X-ray crystallography. Electrochemistry has been used to ascertain the mutual effects of the copper and indole redox centres upon each other. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
