The Unexpected Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Thermal Stability of a Copper(II) Complex Derived from 2-[(2-Phenylaminoethylimino)methyl]benzoic Acid
Abstract:A new mononuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(PIBA) 2 (OH 2 )],where PIBA is the anionic form of 2-(1-phenylimidazolidin-2-yl)benzoic acid, has been unexpectedly obtained from the reaction of 2-formylbenzoic acid, N-phenylethane-1,2-diamine, and copper perchlorate in methanol. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrum, and single-cyrstal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with unit cell dimensions a = 11.812(2) Å, b = 11.884(2) Å, c = 22.799(3… Show more
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.
