Abstract These complexes have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic, and cyclic voltammetry. In 1, the copper(II) ion has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with three nitrogen atoms of the dpa ligand and two oxygen atoms of the nitrate anions. The crystal structure of 2 shows that the copper(II) ions are bridged by tp anion to form a dinuclear complex, in which each copper(II) ion exhibits a distorted square-pyramid with three nitrogen atoms of the dpa ligand, water molecule, and the oxygen atom of the bridging tp ligand. Cyclic voltammetric data indicate that 1 undergoes irreversible one-electron oxidation to the Cu^III and reversible one-electron reduction to the Cu^I, while 2 gives one reversible oxidation and two reversible and irreversible reduced processes. The electronic spectra and redox potentials of the complexes are influenced significantly by the anionic ligands.

Influence of a Halide Ion on Ribbons of Water Pentamer

Abstract  Reactions of CuF₂, CuCl₂ · 2H₂O and CuBr₂ with 2,2′-dipyridylamine (HDPA) in water at room temperature using Cu:HDPA = 2:1 mol yield [Cu(HDPA)(H₂O)₂F]F · 3H₂O (1), Cu(HDPA)Cl₂ (2) and Cu(HDPA)Br₂ (3) respectively. The structures of 2 and 3 are isostructural in spacegroup C2 with cell dimensions; for 2, a = 14.702(8), b = 7.726(2), c = 4.829(6) ?, β = 96.68(8)° and for 3, a = 14.2934(8), b = 7.9057(6), c = 5.1982(5) ?, β = 94.049(7)°. In the X-ray crystal structure, the complex 1 is found to contain tapes of water pentamers. Our DFT calculations at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ level show that the reaction Cu(HDPA)X₂ + 2H₂O = [Cu(HDPA)(H₂O)₂X]X is most exothermic in the gas phase when X⁻ = F⁻, i.e., the tendency of water uptake is maximum for Cu(HDPA)F₂. It seems that the exothermicities of the aquations of Cu(HDPA)Cl₂ and Cu(HDPA)Br₂ are not sufficient to stabilise the type of ribbons of water observed in 1 and consequently water is eschewed when X⁻ = Cl⁻ or Br⁻. Graphical Abstract  Cu(2,2′-dipyridylamine)X₂ takes up water to produce ribbons of water pentamer, as shown in the accompanied picture (red: O atom of a solvent water molecule), only when X⁻ is F⁻ but not when it Cl⁻ or Br⁻. The results are rationalised by means of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ level.
