Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of a monomeric and a macrocyclic copper (II) complex with a large cavity using benzylacetylacetone ligand
The bidentate ligand benzylacetylacetone was used to synthesize the Cu (II) complexes 1 and 2 without and with 4, 4′-bipyridine ligand, respectively. The complexes were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic studies. The mononuclear complex [Cu (C10H9O2) 2](1) has been synthesized by the reaction of copper acetate with the ligand whereas the tetranuclear complex [Cu4 (4, 4′-bpy) 4 (C10H9O2) 4 (C2H3O2) 4](2) has ...
