Abstract

New copper(II) complexes [Cu(H2L)(H2O)n]Cl2·xH2O (n = 0 or 2) with linear and tripodal tetradentate ligands have been synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, molar conductance, IR spectra, magnetic measurements, electronic and ESR spectra. The spectral studies support the binding of linear ligands with two N and two O donor sites to copper(II) ion, providing a square planar geometry and show also that tripodal ligands were coordinated to the metal ion by oly one nitrogen atom, giving an arrangement of NO3 donor groups, the other axial sites being occupied by the solvent. The ESR data indicate that the covalent character of the metal-ligand bonding in the copper(II) complexes increases with increasing electron donating effect of the ligand substituents R. From the results of cyclic voltammetry, it is shown that chelate structure and ligand geometry, steric bulk and electron donating effects of the ligand substituents are among the factors influencing the redox potentials of the complexes.

      In the bromo and iodo complexes, it is not clearly observed, but it is probably masked by the broad band associated with ν(OH) of hydration water molecules. The asymmetric band νas(NH) appears in the same region (3560–3300 cm−1) as the broad band ν(OH) [45,47,48]. On the other hand, the symmetrical band νs(NH) appears in all complexes in the region 3214–3220 cm−1.

      Typical cyclic voltammogram of [Cu(H2dmg)2(Pro)] 2NO3·2H2O is shown in Fig. 5. Cyclic voltammogram of Cu(NO3)2 shows an irreversible oxidation processes at +0.26 V assigned to the oxidation of Cu+ to Cu2+ [39,44,57]. The anodic peak at 1 V is observed in all the cyclic voltammograms of the amino acids, it can be attributed to an irreversible oxidation process.
