Structural and Electrochemical Comparison of Copper(II) Complexes with Tripodal Ligands

Abstract: A series of copper(II) complexes with tripodal polypyridylmethylamine ligands, such as tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (tpa), ((6-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl)bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (Me(1)tpa), bis((6-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (Me(2)tpa), and tris((6-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl)amine (Me(3)tpa), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. [Cu(H(2)O)(tpa)](ClO(4))(2) (1) crystallized in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/a, with a = 15.029(7) Å, b = 9.268(2) Å, c = 17.948(5… Show more

“…[{(C 2 H 4 ) 2 Rh(m-Cl)} 2 ], [42] and the ligands TPA [43] and MeTPA [44] were prepared according to literature procedures. All other chemicals are commercially available and were used without further purification, unless stated otherwise.…”

“…Numerous other mononuclear models that examine NiR reactivity have been explored so far (31,36,(47)(48)(49)(50). These compounds are split into those whose activities have been investigated in nonaqueous solutions (34,49,50) and those that have been examined in aqueous solutions (47,48,(51)(52)(53)(54). In the case of nonaqueous systems, the reaction rates are higher than those observed in aqueous solutions, and the ligands in some cases model the tris-His environment of NiR relatively well (9,49,50).…”

“…There are only a few examples of functional copper complexes that can reduce nitrite in aqueous solutions, and in general these systems have far lower rates that those observed in nonaqueous conditions. In some cases, these complexes produced N 2 O rather than NO (48, 54), whereas the systems in which multiple turnovers were observed have been associated mostly with electrocatalytic reactions, particularly heterogeneous systems (i.e., catalyst linked to the electrode surface) (47,48,51,54). One example has been reported of a copper complex capable of at least four turnovers in 15 min when reduced using photoactivated [Ru(II)(bpy) 3 ] 2+ as the electron donor, but with a significant decrease in activity (NO generation) after two turnovers (52).…”

“…As shown in figure 4a, cluster 1 shows a pair of redox peaks with a cathodic peak potential (E pc ) at 0.485 V and an anodic peak potential (E pa ) at 0.767 V. The half-wave potential (E 1/2 = 1/2(E pa + E pc )) and the peak-to-peak potential separation (ΔE p ) were obtained as 0.626 V and 0.282 V, respectively, indicating that the electrochemical behavior of 1 is quasi-reversible corresponding to the redox process of all four copper (Cu(II)/Cu(I)). [39][40][41] The crystal structures of complex 1 plexes have similar structures, namely a tetranuclear cluster containing four Cu, one μ 4 -O, six μ 2 -X atoms (X = Cl, 1 and Br, 2), and four pyrazole ligands. The electrochemical behavior of clusters 1 and 2 are quasi-reversible corresponding to the redox process of all four copper (Cu(II)/Cu(I)).…”
