Spectral study of complexation ofcis,cis-1,3,5-tri[2-(diphenylphosphinyl)ethylamino]cyclohexane with copper(ii) and cobalt(ii) ions

The complexation ofcis,cis-1,3,5-tri[2-(diphenylphosphinyl)ethylamino]cyclohexane (L¹) with Cu²⁺ and Co²⁺ cations has been studied in different solvents by means of UV-Vis, ESR, and IR spectroscopy. It has been shown that in the CuL¹ complex the metal ion is pentacoordinated by three nitrogen atoms and two phosphinyl groups of the ligand and has a tetragonal-pyramidal environment. The conformation of the coordination polyhedron for the CuL¹ complex depends on the solvent. In the CoL¹ complex, as well as in the CoL² complex, where L² is 1,4,7-tris(2-diphenylphosphinylethyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, the Co²⁺ ion has an octahedral environment and is bound to all donor atoms of the ligands.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
