Synthesis,characterization and electrochemical properties of copper(II) complexes derived from succinoyldihydrazine Schiff base ligands

Four new copper(II) complexes of the composition [Cu(H₂L)(H₂O)] have been synthesized by template method from reaction of copper(II) acetate, succinoyldihydrazine and some o-hydroxy aromatic aldehydes and ketones in aqueous methanol media. The composition of the complexes has been established on the basis of data obtained from analytical and mass spectral studies. The structure of the complexes has been discussed in the light of molar conductance, magnetic moment, Uv-vis, EPR and IR spectral studies. All of the complexes are non-electrolyte in DMSO. The μ_eff values for the complexes fall in the region 1.76–1.85 BM which rules out the possibility of any M–M interaction in the structural unit of the complexes. The ligands coordinate to the metal centre in enol form through phenolate/naphtholate oxygen atoms and azomethine nitrogen atoms. The NMR spectra show that ligands are present in anti-cis configuration in uncoordinated state. In all of the complexes the copper centre adopts square pyramidal stereochemistry. The unpaired electron is present in $d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital in the ground state for copper centre in the complexes. The electron transfer reactions for the complexes have been studied by cyclic voltammetry.

Abstract

Complexes 1-3, C₃₄H₃₆X₄CuN₂O₂ (X?=?Cl, Br, I), were synthesized with copper chloride dihydrate and three new Schiff base ligands derived from amantadine and 3,5-dihalosalicylaldehydes.

The tetra-coordination of the central copper(II) ion in 1-3 is constructed by two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms from the corresponding Schiff base ligands, forming a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Electrochemical properties of the complexes were determined by cyclic voltammetry.
