Synthesis of Pyridyloxycyclophosphazene and its Cu(I) Complex

Abstract

A new pyridyloxycyclophosphazene, called 2,2 -bis[2-oxy-6-methyl-pyridine]-4,4,6,6-bis[spiro(2 ,2"-dioxy-1,1biphenyl)]cyclotriphosphazane (BB-CP) has been synthesized from the reaction of 2,2-dichloro-4,4,6,6-bis[spiro(2',2"dioxybiphenyl)] cyclotriphosphazane (2Cl-CP) and 2-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine (HMP). The Cu(I) complex of this ligand has been prepared. The new ligand and Cu(I) complex were characterized by FT-IR, 1 H NMR, 31 P NMR, UV-vis, mass spectra, elemental and thermal analyses.
