Effect of the composition and topology of the coordination polyhedron on electron transfer in d 9/d 10 redox systems

Synergistic effect of perchlorate ions and acetonitrile medium explored for extension in copper redoximetry

“…Acetonitrile [15] is a polar, non ionizable, donor type solvent with pi acceptor ligand characteristics. In acetonitrile sol vent most transition metal redox couples have higher reduction potential than in water, especially those involving M + ions in d 10 configuration such as Cu(I) [16], which can be explained in terms of preferred tet 1 The article is published in the original. rahedral geometry [17] of [Cu(MeCN) 4 ] + , the soft soft interaction and good pi donor acceptor character istics.…”

Mixed-ligand copper(ii) complexes of guanidine derivatives containing ciprofloxacin: synthesis, characterization, DFT calculations, DNA interactions and biological activities

“…In addition, the g ‖ / A ‖ values, which can tell us the degree of distortion of the square-planar geometry around the copper atom, of 267 and 167 cm for 1Cip and 2Cip , respectively, indicate that 1Cip has considerable distortion but 2Cip has only small to moderate distortion. 46,47…”
