The cyclotriveratrylene-type ligands (±)-tris(iso-nicotinoyl)cyclotriguaiacylene L1 (±)-tris(4-pyridylmethyl)cyclotriguaiacylene L2 and (±)-tris{4-(4-pyridyl)benzyl}cyclotriguaiacylene L3 all feature 4-pyridyl donor groups and all form coordination polymers with CuI and/or CuII cations that show a remarkable range of framework topologies and structures. Complex [CuI4CuII1.5(L1)3(CN)6]·CN·n(DMF)...

In the crystal of the title complex, [Cu(C7H6NO4S)2(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)], the CuII cation and the O atom of the coordinated water mol-ecule reside on a twofold rotation axis. The CuII ion is coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms of the two symmetry-related 4-sulfamoylbenzoate (SB) anions and by two N atoms of the two symmetry-related nicotinamide (NA) mol-ecules at distances of 1.978 (2) and 2.025...

The unusual mixed valence CuII/CuI coordination polymer based on 2,5-bis(pyridine-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole [CuI3CuIIL2(SCN)5]n has been prepared by reaction between the thiadiazole ligand (L), CuCl2·2H2O and KSCN in H2O/CH3CN solution. title complex characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic measurements, as well Hirshfeld surface analysis. TGA analysis magnetic measurem...

The lowering of the CuII→CuI reduction temperature for subnano CuO particles (ca. 1 nm) was demonstrated, compared to nanoparticles, which monitored by in situ XAFS H2-TPR experiments. enhanced performance with a release atomic oxygen from copper oxide is attributed surface-strained structure and elongation Cu−O bonds.

The title compound, [CuCl2(C10H16N2O)], has been synthesized and characterized by synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. The 2-methyl-2-[(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amino]-propan-1-ol (mpmapOH) ligand, including pyridine, amine and hy-droxy groups, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-amino-2-methyl-propan-1-ol with pyridine-2-carbaldehyde and was characterized by NMR spe...

Anaerobic reactions of Rhus vernicifera laccase and its type-2 copper-depleted derivatives with hexacyanoferrate(II) were investigated by absorption and e.s.r. spectroscopy. When native laccase was treated with excess hexacyanoferrate(II), the type-1 and type-2 coppers were immediately reduced and the e.s.r. signal due to type-3 copper was transiently observed. After incubation, a novel e.s.r. ...

A molecular water oxidation catalyst based on the copper complex of general formula [(Lpy)CuII]2-, 22-, (Lpy is 4-pyrenyl-1,2-phenylenebis(oxamidate) ligand) has been rationally designed and prepared to support a more extended π-conjugation through its structure in contrast with its homologue, the [(L)CuII]2- water oxidation catalyst, 12- (L is o-phenylenebis(oxamidate)). The catalytic performa...

Crystals of a new dimeric chloride-bridged cuprate(II) derived from pyridine-2,4-di-carb-oxy-lic acid were obtained solvothermally in the presence of piperazine and hydro-chloric acid. The crystal structure determination of the title salt, (C4H12N2)[Cu2(C7H4NO4)2Cl4], revealed one of the carboxyl groups of the original pyridine-2,4-di-carb-oxy-lic acid ligand to be protonated, whereas the other...

A new oxy(ether)tris(amine) macrocycle, MC has been synthesized for CuII complex formation within the cavity of the macrocyclic wheel in endotopic fashion. This complex is further reacted with the bidentate chelating ligands, 1,10-phenanthroline (L1), 2,2′-bipyridyl (L2), 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridyl (L3) and 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridyl (L4) to achieve the pseudorotaxanes PRT1–PRT4, respective...
