摘要:
The tetramethylammonium and potassium salts of [1,2-bis-(2-oxybenzamidato)benzene]copper(II) abbreviated as [NMe4](2)[Cu(hbab)] and K-2[Cu(hbab)] were prepared and characterized. The x-ray analysis of the potassium salt, K-2[Cu(hbab)] . 5DMF, revealed a unique one-dimensional chain structure consisting of {[KO3][K(Cu(hbab)O]}(n) as the resulting unit, where each K+ ion is surrounded octahedrally by six oxygen atoms and all the oxygen atoms play the role of a bridging group to the K+ ion. The tetramethylammonium. salt, [NMe4](2)[Cu(hbab)] . H2O, behaves as a 2:1 electrolyte in the 10(-3) mol dm(-3) solutions of methanol, acetonitrile and DMF, while the potassium salt behaves as a 2:1 electrolyte in methanol and as a 1:1 electrolyte in acetonitrile and DMF. The Cu-II/III redox potentials of the tetramethylammonium salt in DMF under the presence of 2 equivalent molar of K+, Na+, and Li+ shift to more positive values than those without alkali metal ions, where the magnitude of the positive shift increases with increasing of charge density of alkali metal ion, namely Li+ > Na+ > K+. The charge effect due to ion pair formation between [Cu(hbab)](2-) and Na+ or K+ causes the potential shift, while the potential shift in the case of the Lit ion is brought about by the decrease of donor ability of the phenolic oxygens, besides the charge effect.
