Synthesis and Characterisation of the First Oxazoline Coordination Compounds Containing the Cu(F6acac)2 Unit: X-ray Diffraction Studies of Cu(kappa2-O,O'-F6acac)2(kappa1-N-Meox) and Cu(kappa2-O,O'-F6acac)2(kappa1-N-Etox)

Abstract

The synthesis and characterisation (elemental analysis, IR, X-ray diffraction)

Divalent cobalt and copper coordination complexes of κ2-N, O-derivatives of (Z)-1-R-2-(2′-oxazolin-2′-yl)-eth-1-en-1-ates: Structure and reactivity patterns

“…Our reasoning for the production of the materials described above stems from our long standing interest in both fundamental structural elucidation [7][8][9][10][42][43] and catalysis [8,13,17,[20][21][22][23] with azole-containing transition metal (TM) complexes. Divalent Co and Cu compounds are well-known precursors for selective olefin polymerisation, in some cases under Atom Transfer Radical Polymerisation (ATRP) conditions.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] In this regard, our research interests are primarily focused on the use of azole heterocycles for a variety of topics within coordination chemistry. These areas include fundamental structural studies, [7][8][9][10] metal-mediated polymerization, [11] catalysts for selective C-C bond formation (e.g., Suzuki-Miyaura coupling), [12,13] and medicinal chemistry. [17] Recently, we have turned our attention to a class of azole metalbinding agents that we call Tohda's Ligands (Figure 1).…”
