Spectroscopic studies have been performed on [Cu2(XYL-0-)02]+ to determine the geometric and electronic structure of peroxide binding in this complex. The charge-transfer spectrum shows a band at 505 nm (e = 6300 M"1 cm"1) with a weaker shoulder near 610 nm (e = 2400 M"1 cm"1). Resonance Raman results indicate the presence of two enhanced vibrations, the copper peroxide stretch at 488 cm"1 (464 cm"1 using ls02) and the intraperoxide stretch at 803 cm"1 (750 cm"1 with 1802). The intensity of the intraperoxide stretch shows significant enhancement from both charge-transfer bands. However, the copper peroxide stretch is primarily in resonance with the higher energy transition. Oxygenation with an 160180 mixture indicates
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.
