Crystal structure, spectroscopic characterisation and magnetic properties of [Cu(BIP)(N3)]·H2O (BIP=3,3-bis(2-imidazolyl)propionate), a copper(II) po…

Abstract The structure and the spectroscopic and magnetic properties of [3,3-bis(2-imidazolyl)propionato]azidocopper(II) monohydrate are described. The compound is built of [Cu(BIP)N3] entities which are connected through carboxylate groups from the BIP molecules —which act as a tridentate ligand—and asymmetrical μ-1,3-azido bridges, leading to a polymeric sheet-like structure. The copper atom is involved in a CuN3ON′ chromophore and lies in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. Both electronic and EPR spectra are indicative of an essentially dx2−y2 ground state for the copper(II) ions. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the range 1.8–200 K show very weak antiferromagnetic exchange…
X-ray crystal structure and electronic properties of chlorobis(mepirizole)copper(II) tetrafluoroborate (mepirizole = 4-methoxy-2-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-…

Abstract The crystal structure of [Cu(mep)2Cl](BF4)[mep = 4-methoxy-2-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methylpyrimidine] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure is built up of [Cu(mep)2Cl]+ cations and BF4− anions. The structure of the cation involves a five-coordinated CuN4Cl chromophore, with a stereochemistry near to a compressed trigonal bypyramid (TBP) but with a significant degree of distortion towards the square pyramidal (SP) topology. The EPR spectrum is indicative of a mixed dz2/dx2 − y2 ground state for the copper(II) ions, in agreement with the structural data.
Magneto-structural correlations and DFT calculations in two rare tetranuclear copper(II)-clusters with doubly phenoxo and end-on azido bridges: Synth…
2010
International audience; By slightly changing the synthetic conditions, we have prepared two closely related linear tetranuclear CuII complexes with the symmetrical ONNO donor tetradentate Schiff-base ligand [H2L = (OH)C6H4(CH3)Cdouble bond; length as m-dashN(CH2)3Ndouble bond; length as m-dashC(CH3)C6H4(OH)] and with azide ions. These two distinctly coloured crystalline products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, CV, EPR spectra and variable temperature magnetic measurements. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the green [Cu4(μ-L)2(μ1,1-N3)2(N3)2] (1) and the red [Cu4(μ-L)2(μ1,1-N3)2(N3)2(H2O)2] (2) crystals show that the coordination environment o…
Thermal and Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Directional Bis(terpyridine)ruthenium(II)–(Bipyridine)platinum(II) Complexes
2013
Metalloligands L1 and L2 consisting of directional bis(terpyridine)ruthenium(II) units and bipyridine moieties were constructed by amide formation. From these metalloligands two Ru–Pt heterobimetallic complexes 1 and 2 were derived by a building-block method by means of platination with [PtCl2(dmso)2]. Both bimetallic complexes 1 and 2 feature metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorptions, and emission occurs at room temperature in fluid solution from 3MLCT(Ru) states in all cases. Energy transfer from platinum to ruthenium is observed in 2 but not in 1 (light harvesting). The one-electron-reduced species [1]– and [2]– were prepared by reduction of 1 and 2 with decamethylcobaltocene. E…
Ferromagnetic exchange in a twisted, oxime-bridged [mniii2] dimer
2012
Journal article The dimeric complex [MnIII2(Naphth-sao)2(Naphth-saoH)2(MeOH)2][middle dot]4MeOH (1[middle dot]4MeOH), acts as a simple model complex with which to examine the magneto-structural relationship in polymetallic, oxime-bridged MnIII complexes. Dc magnetic susceptibility studies reveal that ferromagnetic exchange is mediated through the heavily twisted Mn-O-N-Mn moiety (J = +1.24 cm-1) with magnetisation measurements at low temperatures and high fields suggesting significant anisotropy. Simulations of high field, high frequency EPR data reveal a single ion anisotropy, D(MnIII) = -3.94 cm-1. Theoretical studies on simplified model complexes of 1 reveal that calculated values of the…
Increased conformational rigidity of humic substances by oxidative biomimetic catalysis
2005
A synthetic water-soluble meso-tetra(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinate of iron(III) chloride, Fe(TDCPPS)Cl, was employed as a biomimetic catalyst in the oxidative coupling of terrestrial humic materials. High-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (CPMAS-(13)C NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFT) were used to follow conformational and structural changes brought about in different humic materials by the oxidative coupling. Increase in apparent weight-average molecular weight (Mw(a)) occurred invariably for all humic substances with the oxidative polymerization catalyzed …
Enhancing the luminescence efficiency of silicon-nanocrystals by interaction with H+ions
2018
The emission of silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs), synthesized by pulsed laser ablation in water, was investigated on varying the pH of the solution. These samples emit μs decaying orange photoluminescence (PL) associated with radiative recombination of quantum-confined excitons. Time-resolved spectra reveal that both the PL intensity and the lifetime increase by a factor of ∼20 when the pH decreases from 10 to 1 thus indicating that the emission quantum efficiency increases by inhibiting nonradiative decay rates. Infrared (IR) absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments allow addressing the origin of defects on which the excitons nonradiatively recombine. The linear correl…

Modifications of optical absorption band of E'gamma center in silica
2005
We report a study by electron paramagnetic resonance on the E0 point defect in amorphous silicon dioxide (a-SiO2). Our experiments were performed on -ray irradiated oxygen-deficient materials and pointed out that the 29Si hyperfine structure of the E0 consists of a pair of lines split by 49 mT. On the basis of the experimental results, a microscopic model is proposed for the E0 center, consisting of a hole trapped in an oxygen vacancy with the unpaired electron sp3 orbital pointing away from the vacancy in a back-projected configuration and interacting with an extra oxygen atom of the a-SiO2 matrix.
