Analysis of the structures of the Cu(I) and Cu(II) complexes with 3-acetylpyridine and thiocyanate
摘要:
3-Acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazone hydrochloride was synthesized and structurally characterized. Complexes of Cu(II) with this ligand could not be obtained by direct synthesis. By synthesis in situ mixing Cu(BF4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O, 3-acetylpyridine (3-Acpy) and semicarbazide, a Cu(I) polymer, {[Cu(SCN)(3-Acpy)(2)]}(n) was obtained and structurally characterized. Reaction of Cu(BF4)(2)center dot 6H(2)O, 3-acetylpyridine and ammonium thiocyanate afforded a dinuclear Cu(II) complex with two thiocyanate ions in bridges, which was structurally characterized. Magnetic measurements were performed for the dinuclear complex. OFT calculations provided explanation for inability to obtain a mononuclear complex. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
