| Abstract: | Studies on Metal Chelates with Ligands of the Cuproin and Ferroin Type. XXI. Structure and Bonding of Dinitrato-mono(cuproin)- and Dinitrato-mono(ferroin)-copper(II) Chelates Chelates of the type Cu(N? N)(NO3)2 (N? N = bipy, phen, dmp, dmch, dpch, and bich) are characterized by means of e.s.r., u.v.-vis, i.r., and conductivity measurements. On the basis of these results the possible structures of these chelates both in solution and in the solid state are discussed. The MO coefficients, which could be obtained by e.s.r. measurements, are indicating a high covalency of the out-of-plane π-bonding, but only low covalency of the σ-bonding and the in-plane π-bonding. |
