A new series of copper(II) complexes derived from (4,5-dimethyl-3-pyrazolyl)aldazine (DMPA), formulated as: (a) [LCuX2]'nEtOH; (b) [LCu(H20)](C104)2; and (c) I-LCuX]BF4.nH20, where n = 1/2 or 1, X = C1 or Br and L = DMPA, have been synthesized. The formulations are based on elemental analyses and molar conductivity data. I.r., u.v.-vis., e.s.r, and magnetic data reveal that the complexes are trigonal bipyramidal, tetrahedral and stacked square-planar structures for (a), (b) and (c), respectively. The trigonal bipyramidal structure for class (a) compounds is confirmed using the atom superposition and electron delocalization-molecular orbital calculations, which agree with the experimental electronic spectral data. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data shows a ferromagnetic interaction within copper(II) complexes of class (c).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
