Abstract: | Structure and Bonding of Perchlorato-bis(cuproine)- and Perchlorato-bis(ferroine)-copper(II) Perchlorates The results of ESR, IR, and visible spectra of copper(II) chelates of the type CuL2ClO4]ClO4 (L = bipy, phen, dmp, dmch, and bich) are reported. In all cases evidences for coordinated perchlorate ions were found. On the basis of the ESR and visible spectra the bonding properties of the chelates are discussed. |
