A route to novel stable salts containing transition and main group metals
摘要:
Novel salts of the type [Cu(Dien)(2)][Bu3SnCl3], [Cu(Dien)(2)][Ph2SnCl4], and [Cu(Dien)(2)][SnCl6] (Dien-diethylenetriamine) were prepared by the reaction of [Cu(Dien)(2)]Cl-2 with Bu3SnCl, Ph2SnCl2 and SnCl4 in MeOH in a 1 : 1 ratio, respectively, and characterized, by elemental analyses, electronic, IR and ESR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, electrochemistry, and conductivity measurements. The results revealed that the compounds are 1 : 1 electrolytes and the Cu2+ ion is paramagnetic in the octahedral field. The complexes exhibit a single-electron redox couple.
