Reactivity towards dioxygen of a copper(I) complex of tris(2-benzylaminoethyl)amine
摘要:
The reaction of dioxygen with the copper(I) Bz(3)tren complex (Bz(3)tren = tris(2-benzylaminoethyl)anline) complex has been investigated using low temperature stopped-flow techniques, The formation of a superoxo as well as a peroxo complex as intermediates was detected spectroscopically. The copper(II) complexes [Cu(Bz(3)tren)H2O](ClO4)(2) and [Cu(Bz(3)tren)Cl]Cl were synthesized and structurally characterized. Both complexes react with dioxygen in solution and formation of benzaldehyde was observed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
