In addition, the complex has been investigated for catalytic properties towards the Henry reaction of nitromethane with p-nitrobenzaldehyde, and the results indicated that the 1-p-nitrophenyl-2-nitroethanol product was obtained in excellent yield under optimum conditions with the complex as the catalyst.     

Solvothermal Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Characterization of a New Binuclear Copper(Ⅱ) Complex with K~3:N~1:N~2:N~4-3-(Pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole(HPT)

A new binuclear copper(Ⅱ) complex[Cu_2(MBBA)_2(HPT)_2(H_2O)_2]·2H_2O (1) was synthesized with copper acetate,2-(4-methylbenzoyl) benzoic acid (MBBA) and 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (HPT).It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2_1/c with a=14.722(2),b=8.8907(12),c=18.5565(18)?,β=116.820(7)o,V=2167.6(5)?~3,M_r=483.96,D_c=1.483 g/cm~3,Z=4,μ(Mo Ka)=1.049 mm~(-1),F(000)=981,the final GOOF=0.952,R=0.0586 and w R=0.0823.The whole molecule consists of two copper ions bridged by two HPT molecules.The central Cu(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated by six atoms to give a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.The structure of 1 has been determined by X-ray diffraction,IR spectrum and thermal stability analysis.The solid-state fluorescence displays an obvious emission band at 412 nm upon excitation at 330 nm.Magnetic properties indicate that 1 exhibits antiferromagnetic properties.     

Triply-bridged Dicopper(Ⅰ)Complex of Bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene with a Helical Coordination Cage

<正>Self-organization of copper (I) ion with bridging ligand bis(diphenylphosphino)-acetylene resulted in the isolation of a dinuclear copper ( I ) complex [Cu2(μ-Ph2PC≡ CPPh2)3(MeCN)2](ClO4)2·Et2O. Structural analysis indicated the existence of a helical coordination cage, in which two copper (I) atoms are bridged triply by the linear diphosphine Ph2PC≡CPPh2 with the CuACu separation of 6.231 A. The copper (I) atom is in an approximately tetrahedral environment with a NP3 coordination chromophore. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P 1 with a = 13.8456(2), b = 16.6010(1), c = 18.9215(3) A, α = 98.289(1), β = 91.232(1), γ = 106.496(1)°, V = 4117.60(9) A3, Z = 2, C86H82Cl2N2O9P6Cu2, Mr= 1659.37, Dc= 1.338 g/cm3, F(000) = 1708, μ = 0.754 mm-1, the final R = 0.0688 and wR = 0.1940 for 11692 reflections with I>2σ(I).
