Non-Isomorphic Chlorine—Bromine Substitution in the Copper(I) Halideπ-Complexes with 1-Allyl-4-aminopyridinium
2003
By alternating-current electrochemical synthesis crystals of {Cu[H2NC5H4N(C3H5)]Br2}˙H2O (I), {Cu[H2NC5H4N(C3H5)]Br0.65Cl1.35}˙H2O (II) and {Cu[H2NC5H4N(C3H5)]Cl2} (III) π-complexes have been obtained and structurally investigated. The I and II compounds are isostructural and crystallize in a monoclinic sp. gr. P21/c, I: a = 7.359(2)A, b = 12.3880(6)A, c = 13.637(3)A, β = 107.03(1)°, V = 1188.7(4)A3, Z = 4 for C8H13N2OBr2Cu composition, R = 0.0293 for 2140 reflections. II: a = 7.2771(6)A, b = 12.3338(3)A, c = 13.4366(7)A, β = 107.632(2)°, V = 1149.3(1)A3, Z = 4 for C8H13N2Br0.65Cl1.35Cu composition, R = 0.0463 for 2185 reflections. Metal and halogen atoms form centrosymmetric Cu2X4 dimers. …
A new copper chloride chain by supported hydrogen bonding
2013
In the current paper we introduce a new type of Cu–Cl polymer ([H2bipip]2+[CuCl3]2−)n. In this polymer the trigonal CuCl3 units are covalently linked via chloride bridges. The structure is supported by the bipiperidinium cation ([H2bipip]2+) via hydrogen bonds. The cation plays an essential role in formation of the polymeric structure. The closely related piperazinium (H2pip)2+ cation also leads to a hydrogen bonded assembly of CuCl3 ([H2pip]2+[CuCl3]2−), but a covalently bound polymer was not obtained.
An Unusual Geometry of Five-Coordinate Copper(II): The Structure of Cu(terpy)I2 and Spectroscopic Investigations of Complexes Cu(terpy)X2 (X: I, NCS)
1991
The structure of the compound Cu(terpy)I2 (terpy 2,2′: 6′, 2″ terpyridine) was determined at room temperature. It is monoclinic, space group I2/c with a = 13.689(3), b = 9.510(2), c = 11.605(3) Å, β = 97.59(4)° and Ζ = 4. The copper(II) ions are five-coordinated by the three nitrogen atoms from the terpy ligand and the two iodine atoms. The CuN3I2 polyhedron exhibits the same unusual “reverse” geometry as is observed for Cu(terpy)(NCS)2. Single crystal EPR measurements of the iodide and the isothio-cyanate complexes confirmed the structural results, excluding the possibility of a dynamically averaged geometry.
A novel mixed valent Cu(II)-Cu(I) 2D framework made of a hydrazone and μ-SCN bridged metallacyclic loops cross-linked by μ3-SCN chains.
2012
A mixed valent copper complex [Cu(II)Cu(I)(L)(μ-SCN)(μ(3)-SCN)](n) (LH = N'-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)acetohydrazide) has been synthesized and characterized. It is a unique example of a 2D mixed valent Cu(II)-Cu(I) interlinked molecular assembly with a very unusual bridging property of the hydrazone ligand. An extraordinary in situ partial Cu(II)→ Cu(I) reduction is observed in this system at room temperature.
Copper Isotope Fractionation during Complexation with Insolubilized Humic Acid
2010
The bioavailability, mobility, and toxicity of Cu depend on Cu speciation in solution. In natural systems like soils, sediments, lakes, and river waters, organo-Cu complexes are the dominating species. Organo-complexation of Cu may cause a fractionation of stable Cu isotopes. The knowledge of Cu isotope fractionation during sorption on humic acid may help to better understand Cu isotope fractionation in natural environments and thus facilitate the use of Cu stable isotope ratios (delta(65)Cu) as tracer of the fate of Cu in the environment. We therefore studied Cu isotope fractionation during complexation with insolubilized humic acid (IHA) as a surrogate of humic acid in soil organic matter…
Structural and magnetic properties of polynuclear oximate copper complexes with different topologies
2017
Abstract Two new copper(II) complexes containing the methyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oxime ligand (mpkoH) [Cu3(OH)(ClO4)2(mpko)3]·CH3OH (1) and [Cu(ClO4)(mpko)(mpkoH)]n (2) have been prepared from Cu(ClO4)2 and mpkoH in different metal-to-ligand molar ratios. In addition, the compound [Cu{(mpko)2BF2}(H2O)](BF4) (3) [(mpko)2BF2 is the fluoroboration product of the oxime] has been obtained when replacing Cu(ClO4)2 by Cu(BF4)2. Compound 1 is an isolated triangle with a {Cu3(µ3-OH)}5+ core, whereas 2 is a chain of CuII ions linked by anionic mpko− bridges. 1 exhibits strong antiferromagnetic competing interactions, as well as antisymmetric exchange. On the other hand, very weak ferromagnetic interactio…
Oxidative halogenation of substituted pyrroles with Cu(II). PartIII. Bromination and chlorination of 2-benzoylpyrrole
1992
The bromination of 2-benzoylpyrrole with copper(II) bromide in the homogeneous and the heterogeneous phase is described, giving 4- and 5-monobromo derivatives whose ratio decreases as the temperature is increased. The same reaction with copper(II) chloride in acetonitrile at 60° produces 5-chloro-2-benzoylpyrrole as the major product. 4,5-Dihalopyrroles in good yields are obtained with an excess of halogenating agent.
Exchange coupling in a thiocyanato-bridged copper(II) chain: Computational approach to magnetostructural correlations
2021
Abstract In this article we report the synthesis and magneto-structural characterization of two new copper(II) compounds with thiocyanato and methyl(2-pyridil) ketone oxime (mpkOH), namely [Cu(NCS)(mpkO)(mpkOH)] (1) and [Cu(µ-NCS)(NCS)(mpkOH)]n (2). Compound 1 is a mononuclear complex that crystallizes as discrete units. Conversely, compound 2 is a single equatorial-axial end-to-end thiocyanato bridged polymeric chain of Cu(II) with the oxime as a co-ligand. The coordination geometry around the Cu(II) centers is distorted square pyramidal for 1 and 2. The magnetic susceptibility data for 2 reveal weak intrachain antiferromagnetic coupling, with J value −0.74(3) cm−1 and g = 2.10(1). The ap…
Laccases: structure, reactions, distribution
2004
Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2, p-diphenol: dioxygen oxidoreductases) are multi-copper proteins that use molecular oxygen to oxidize various aromatic and non-aromatic compounds by a radical-catalyzed reaction mechanism. The enzymes are involved in the pathogenicity, immunity and morphogenesis of organisms and in the metabolic turnover of complex organic substances such as lignin or humic matter. Owing to their high non-specific oxidation capacity, laccases are useful biocatalysts for diverse biotechnological applications. Until recently, laccases were only found in eukaryotes (fungi, higher plants, insects), but now there is strong evidence for their widespread distribution in prokaryotes and the fi…
Reversible Solvent‐Exchange‐Driven Transformations in Multifunctional Coordination Polymers Based on Copper‐Containing Organosulfur Ligands
2014
The preparation by simple direct synthesis of a series of coordination polymers based on copper with chloride or bromide and dipyrimidinedisulfide is reported. The structural characterisations of these compounds reveal a rich structural variety as a result of the number of coordination modes available to the organosulfur ligand, in combination with the bridging capabilities of the halides. Interestingly, some of the polymers displayed fully reversible solvent exchange/removal crystal-to-crystal 2D to 0D and 2D to 2D transformations. These materials show multifunctional electronic properties. Thus, some of them are semiconductors and present weak antiferromagnetic interactions, and the CuI/C…
