Synthesis and Structure of [Cu2（μ—NO2）（aepy）4]（ClO4）3 （aepy=2—（2—Aminoethyl）pyridine）

1 INTRODUCTION There has been great and considerable interest in the study of copper nitrite complexes because they are relevant to the study of copper-containing enzymes involved in the denitrification process[1]; in particular, copper-nitrite complexes are potentially relevant to the nitrite reductases[2] (the enzyme from Achromobacter Cycloclastes) which convert NO2－ to NO and/or N2O. Many attempts have been made to synthesize a variety of copper-nitrite complexes, in which the n…     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of[Cu（dppb）（NO_3）]_2（dppb=1,4-Bis（diphenylphosphino）butane）

The synthesis and molecular structure of a new dinuclear copper(Ⅰ) complex [Cu(dppb)(NO 3)] 2 are reported.The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group P2 1 /n with a=12.830(3),b=10.899(2),c=19.666 (4),β=104.69(3)°,V=2660.1(9)3,Z=4,D c=1.378 g/cm 3,F(000)=1144,the final R=0.0600 and wR=0.0668 for 2951 observed reflections with I > 2σ(Ⅰ).The complex contains a folded Cu 2 P 4 core structure,with two Cu(Ⅰ) atoms being bridged by a pair of dppb ligands to form a 14-membered Cu 2 P 4 C 8 zigzag ring.The ligand sphere of each metal center is completed by a nitrate anion in a chelating fashion.     

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric study of Cu(I) and Cu(II) bipyridine complexes employed in atom transfer radical polymerization

We report an electrospray ionization mass spectrometric study of Cu(I) and Cu(II) bipyridine complexes employed in atom transfer radical polymerization. Mass spectra of Cu(I)Br complexed with 2 equiv. of 4,4'-di(5-nonyl)-2,2'-bipyridine (dNbpy) in toluene, methyl acrylate or styrene showed the presence of [Cu(I)(dNbpy)(2)](+) cation and [Cu(I)Br(2)](-) anion. For the Cu(II)Br(2)/2dNbpy system, [Cu(II)(dNbpy)(2)Br](+), [Cu(II)(dNbpy)Br](+), [Cu(I)Br(2)](-), [Cu(II)Br(3)](-) and [Cu(II)(dNbpy)Br(3)](-) species were observed. In addition, for mixed Cu(I)Br/2dNbpy and Cu(II)Br(2)/2dNbpy systems, the negative ion mode showed only the presence of [Cu(I)Br(2)](-) anions, which are potentially formed through halogen exchange between [Cu(II)Br(3)](-) and [Cu(I)(dNbpy)(2)](+).

A complete series of copper(II) halide complexes (X = F, Cl, Br, I) with a novel Cu(II)-C(sp3) bond

A complete series of copper(ii) halide complexes [CuX(tptm)](X = F (), Cl (), Br (), I (); tptm = tris(2-pyridylthio)methyl) with a novel Cu(II)-C(sp(3)) bond has been prepared by the reactions of [Cu(tptm)(CH(3)CN)]PF(6)(.PF(6)) with corresponding halide sources of KF or n-Bu(4)NX (X = Cl, Br, I), and the trigonal bipyramidal structures have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography and/or EPR spectroscopy. The iodide complex easily liberates the iodide anion in acetonitrile forming the acetonitrile complex as a result. The EPR spectra of the complexes showed several superhyperfine structures that strongly indicated the presence of spin density on the halide ligands through the Cu-X bond. The results of DFT calculations essentially matched with the X-ray crystallographic and the EPR spectroscopic results. Cyclic voltammetry revealed a quasi-reversible reduction wave for Cu(II)/Cu(I) indicating a trigonal pyramidal coordination for Cu(I) states. A coincidence of the redox potential for all [CuX(tptm)](0/+) processes indicates that the main oxidation site in each complex is the tptm ligand.     

Synthesis and Supramolecular Structure of Chloro（1,10-phenanthroline ）copper（I） Hexahydrate

1INTRODUCTION Atom transfer radical addition is an efficient me-thod for carbon-carbon bond formation in organic synthesis[1,2].In some of these reactions,a transi-tion-metal catalyst acts as a carrier of the halogen atom in a reversible redox process.The transition-metal-catalyzed has been successfully used to con-trol radical polymerization[3].In the process,the transition-metal species initially abstracts halogen atom X from organic halide to form oxidized species and carbon-centered r…     

Hybrid inorganic-metalorganic compounds containing copper(II)-monosubstituted Keggin polyanions and polymeric copper(I) complexes

Four hybrid inorganic-metalorganic compounds containing copper(II)-monosubstituted Keggin polyoxotungstates, K3[Cu(I)(4,4'-bpy)]3[SiW11Cu(II)O39].11H2O (1), (paraquat)3[SiW11Cu(II)O39].6H2O (2; paraquat = N,N'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium), K3[Cu(I)(4,4'-bpy)]3[GeW11Cu(II)O39].11H2O (3), and Na2[Cu(I)(4,4'-bpy)]3[PW11Cu(II)O39(H2O)].4H2O (4), have been synthesized under autogenous pressure hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The crystal structures of 1, 2, and 4 have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal packings are characterized by the presence of monodimensional extended entities: either the polymeric polyanion [SiW11CuO39]n(6n-) (2), the cationic [Cu(4,4'-bpy)]n(n+) chain (4), or both simultaneously as in compound 1, where the inorganic and metalorganic sublattices are mutually perpendicular. To asses the influence of packing in the copper(I) complex structural diversity found in compounds 1 and 4, a search in the CSD database has been performed and the resulting geometrical features have been analyzed and compared with experimental crystallographic data and DFT calculations.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [MoOS_3Cu_3I(dmpzm)_2]·2(MeCN)_(0.5) (dmpzm=Bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane)

1 INTRODUCTION The synthesis of molybdenum-copper-sulfur clus- ters from the preformed clusters with certain nitro- gen donor ligands remains attractive due to their rich chemistry and electro/photonic properties[1~6]. How- ever, the third-order nonlinear optical performances of these Mo/Cu/S clusters have been limited due to their relatively low solubility in common organic solvents[5]. One possible way to tackle this problem is to introduce bulky organic ligands into the cluster framew…     

Direct Electrochemical Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Mononuclear Copper(Ⅱ) Complex: [(bipy)_2Cu(PhCOO)]ClO_4·(benzil) (benzil = 1,2-Diphenyl-ethane-1,2-dione)

A new mononuclear copper(Ⅱ) complex [(bipy)2Cu(PhCOO)]ClO4·(benzil) (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, benzil = 1,2-diphenyl-ethane-1,2-dione) was synthesized by direct electrochemical oxidation of Cu electrode in an acetonitrile solution with benzoic acid, 2,2′-bipyridine and benzoin. As soon as the current flowed in the cell, benzoin was oxidized to benzil quickly. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. It belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 14.860(2), b = 20.784(3), c = 11.9150(17) , β = 101.401(3)°, V = 3607.3(9) 3, Z = 4, Mr = 806.69, Dc = 1.485 g/cm3, F(000) = 1660, μ = 0.742 mm-1, R = 0.0788 and wR = 0.1519 for 6254 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). The complex contains a mononuclear [(bipy)2Cu(PhCOO)]+ cation, a solvate benzil molecule and a ClO4- anion which locates around the cation outside acting as the counter ion. The Cu(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated by two 2,2′-bipyridines and one benzoato ligand to form a distorted square-pyramid.     

Mixed-Anion Cu(II) Complexes with 3-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazole (L), Syntheses and X-ray Crystal Structure of [Cu(L)2 Br]ClO4 (L=3-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazole)

Reaction of the ligand 3-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazole (L) with Cu(ClO₄)₂ and CuX₂ (X=Cl, Br, I) gives complexes with stoichiometry [Cu(L)₂X]ClO₄ (X = Cl, Br, I). The new complexes were characterized by elemental analyses and infrared and electronic spectroscopy. The crystal structure of the [Cu(L)₂Br]ClO₄ was determined by X-ray crystallography. The cation complex (i.e. [Cu(L)₂Br]P) contains copper(II) with a distorted trigonal bipyramid geometry with a Br^― ligand occupying an equatorial site. The penta-coordinated metal atom is bonded to two pyridinic nitrogens, two pyrazolic nitrogens, and one bromide anion. The pyrazolic H atoms are hydrogen bonded to Br atoms, resulting in infinite hydrogen-bonded chains running in the b direction. There are π‐π stacking interactions (charge-transfer arrays) between the parallel aromatic rings belonging to adjacent chains that may help to form hydrogen bonding in the coordination geometry around Cu (II).     

Fluorene-based Cu(II)-MOF: a visual colorimetric anion sensor and separator based on an anion-exchange approach

A new 2D Cu(II)-MOF generated from a fluorene-based ligand and Cu(NO(3))(2) was reported. It is an interesting visual colorimetric anion sensor. In addition, it can completely separate Cl(-)/Br(-), Br(-)/I(-) and SCN(-)/N(3)(-) anions under ambient conditions.     

Three Ag(I) and Cu(II) complexes of 4-pyridin-4-yl-(1,3) dithiol-2-one

Single crystals of Ag(I) and Cu(II) complexes with 4-pyridin-4-yl-(1,3) dithiol-2-one (PYDO), [Ag(PYDO)₂]ClO₄, [Ag(PYDO)₂(NO₃)], and [Cu(PYDO)₂(NO₃)₂] have been prepared and characterized. PYDO displays excellent coordination to Cu(II) and Ag(I). The 1,3-dithiol five-member ring is an electron donor that enhances the coordination ability of the py group. HOMO-1 σ coordination and d–π electron back-donating from metal to ligand (LUMO) are suggested based on the calculation. Weak interactions and secondary bonds from the anion to cation play an important role in the molecular assembly.     

Copper(I) complexes of rhodanine

Summary Some new crystalline copper(I) complexes of rhodanine (HL) have been prepared and studied by i.r. and conductometric methods. The neutral ligand is bonded to the metal atom through the thiocarbonylic sulphur atom. The Cu(HL)₂OH · 0.5 H₂O complex has a dimeric tetrahedral hydroxyl-bridged structure as have the isostructural halides Cu(HL)₂X (X = Cl, Br and I) for which the halide-bridged stretching bands have been identified. The Cu(HL)₃A (A = ClO₄, BF₄, 0.5 SO₄ and CF₃CO₂) complexes have monomeric distorted tetrahedral structures with the anion bonded to the metal.     

Copper-63 NMR line width study of the copper(I)-acetonitrile system

The principal focus of this study is the (63)Cu NMR line widths in Cu(I)-acetonitrile (AN) solutions. The variations with the concentrations of Cu(I) salts (trifluoromethanesulfonate and perchlorate), added salts, water, chloride ion, and temperature have been studied. A quantitative analysis shows that the anomalous temperature dependence of the line widths is not due to ion pairing or anion complexation but results primarily from formation of a species with a different coordination number or less symmetrical arrangement of AN ligands than in the normal tetrahedral Cu(AN)(4)(+) ion. Solvent viscosity and ion pairing (with triflate) also are identified as factors having the expected effects on the line widths. The results of earlier studies also are discussed and analyzed by the current model where possible.     

Spectroelectrochemical Studies of Copper(I) Complexes with Binaphthyridine and Biquinoline Ligands. Crystal Structure Determination of Bis(6,7-dihydrodipyrido[2,3-b:3',2'-j][1,10]phenanthroline)copper(I) Tetrafluoroborate

The electrochemical and spectral properties of some copper(I) polypyridyl complexes based on 6,7-dihydrodibenzo[b,j][1,10]phenanthroline, dmbiq, and 6,7-dihydrodipyrido[2,3-b:3',2'-j][1,10]phenanthroline, dmbinap, are reported. These complexes are [Cu(dmbiq)(2)](+), 1; [Cu(dmbiq)(PPh(3))(2)](+), 2; [Cu(dmbinap)(2)](+), 3; and [Cu(dmbinap)(PPh(3))(2)](+), 4. 3 and 4 may be reduced to form ligand-based radical anion species. The resonance Raman spectra of 3(*)()(-)() and 4(*)()(-)() are almost identical and correspond closely to the spectrum of dmbinap(*)()(-)() and the reported spectra of complexes containing 2,2'-biquinoline radical anion moieties. Reduction processes for 1 and 2 are irreversible. For 1 the electronic spectral changes arising from reduction suggest demetallation of the complex. The structure of [Cu(C(18)H(12)N(4))(2)][BF(4)].CH(2)Cl(2) (3[BF(4)].CH(2)Cl(2)) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with cell dimensions a = 14.059(7) ?, b = 15.058(6) ?, c = 16.834(9) ?, beta = 111.56(5) degrees, Z = 4, rho(calcd) = 1.611 g/cm(3), and R(F(o)) = 0.0497.     

One and Two-dimensional Structures of a New Oxamido Copper(II) Complex with Phthalato Bridged

1 INTRODUCTION Coordination polymers are a family of materials composed of 1D chains, 2D sheets, and 3D networks of metal-organic building blocks connected via co- valent and hydrogen bonds. Recently, they have re- ceived increasing attention for their fascinating struc- tures and topological features[1～4]. The complex as ligands approach is one of the best strategies to de- sign and synthesize polynuclear species, and a good example of ‘complex ligand’ is represented by mono- nuclear…     

Synthesis and crystal structure of bis(2,2,2-cryptand potassium) tetrakis(isocyanato)cuprate(II)

A new complex compound, bis(2,2,2-cryptand potassium) tetrakis(isocyanato)cuprate(II), 2[K(Crypt-222)]⁺ [Cu(NCS)4]^2? was prepared and its crystal structure was studied by X-ray structural analysis. The structure includes one symmetrically independent complex cation [K(Crypt-222)]⁺ of a guest-host type and independent one half of [Cu(NCS)₄]^2? anion. Through the center of the anion passes crystallographic symmetry axis 2, the approximate point symmetry of the anion is D ₂, while the approximate point symmetry of the complex cation is D ₃. The coordination polyhedron of the [Cu(NCS)₄]^2? anion (four N atoms) conjugated with Cu²⁺ cation is a nonplanar square considerably screwed into a flattened tetrahedron. The K⁺ cation (coordination number 8) of the complex cation [K(Crypt-222)]⁺ is coordinated by all eight heteroatoms (6O + 2N) of the 2,2,2-cryptand ligand, and its coordination polyhedron can be described as bis-basecentered trigonal prism slightly screwed into an anti-prism.
