P. McMoran, Douglas R. Powell, Felio Perez, Gerard T. Rowe, Lei YangA series
of copper complexes supported by a simple dipyridylamide ligand (H2pcp)
were isolated and characterized. Treatment of H2pcp with NaH and copper(I)
salts led to the formation of [Cu2(2pcp)2] (1a) and {Na[(Cu2(2pcp)2)2]PF6}n (1b).
The X-ray crystal structures of both complexes feature CuICuI cores with close Cu···Cu interactions.
Electrochemical studies of 1a showed a reversible one-electron
oxidation wave in CH2Cl2. On the basis of the
work on 1a, we began studying the mixed-valence copper
species supported by this ligand. The reaction of H2pcp with Cu(OAc)2 and CuCl in different stoichiometries yielded [Cu2(2pcp)2Cl] (2) and [Cu3(2pcp)2Cl2] (3). X-ray crystallography and
spectroscopic characterization suggested delocalized Cu1.5Cu1.5 core structures of both compounds. These results
further inspired us to explore the coordination properties of H2pcp
toward CuII ions. The complexes [HNEt3][Cu2(2pcp)3(ClO4)](ClO4) (4a), [Cu2(2pcp)3(NO3)] (4b), and [Cu2(2pcp)3(H2O)]BF4 (4c) featuring dinuclear CuIICuII cores were prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography
and spectroscopic methods. Structural analysis of these complexes
implied that the accommodation of CuICuI, Cu1.5Cu1.5, and CuIICuII is
attributed to the structural flexibility of the ligand H2pcp. Complexes 1a, 2, 3, and 4a were
examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which confirmed the
oxidation state assignments. Computational studies were also performed
to provide insight into the electronic structures of these complexes.
