| Abstract: | Tetraisopropoxyaluminate of copper undergoes alcoholysis reactions with various alcohols and acetylacetone to yield Cu[Al(OR)4]2, where RO = methoxy, ethoxy, 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxy, 1,3,-dibromo-2-propoxy, n-butoxy, teriary butoxy and pentoxy amyl and acetylacetone. Various physico-chemical studies like infrared, visible reflectance, and electron spin resonance and magnetic susceptibility measurements as well as molecular weight and elemental analysis have been made to throw light on the structural features of these derivatives. These studies suggest an octahedral environment for copper(II) in these derivatives. |
