摘要:
The three dicopper(II) complexes [Cu-2(L-endm)(ClO4)(2)(H2O)(2)](ClO4)(2)center dot 2H(2)O (1), [Cu2(L-endm)(N-3)(2)(H2O)(2)]-(ClO4)(2) (2), and [Cu-2(L-endm)(C4O4)(2)(H2O)(2)]center dot 6H(2)O (3) (C4O42- = 3,4-dihydroxycyclobut-3-en-1,2-dionate) were synthesized from the novel binucleating ligand 1,6-diazecine, L-endm namely bis([c,h](2-methylimidazolyl)]-1,6-diazecine-1,6-bis(N,N-dimethylamino-eth-2-yl). The perchlorato, 1 and the squarato complex 3 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The spectral and structural characterization, and electrochemical proper-ties as well as thermogravimetric analyses of the complexes are reported. The Cu(II) centers in 1 and 3 displayed a distorted square pyramidal environment with the CuN3O2 chromophore. In which the basal sites are occupied by the three nitrogen donors of L-endm: N(1) of the N,N-dimethylamino-eth-2-yl side chain, N(2) of the 10-membered central 1,6-diazecine ring and N(3) of the non-protonated N atom of the imidazolyl, an O(1) of the aqua ligand in 1 or O(1) of the terminal squarato ligand in 3, and an aqua ligand Occupying the apical position. In both cases the L-endm behaves as bis-tridentate bridging ligand with the intradinuclear Cu...Cu distances are in the range 7.38-7.51 angstrom. The UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy, elemental and the thermal analyses of the complexes are in complete agreement with the assigned structural formulas. The cyclic voltametric properties of the two complexes 1 and 2 were also studied. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
