A new bifunctional, triazine-based ligand has been designed with the aim to generate a copper (II) complex holding a TEMPO (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy) moiety. The coordination compound obtained from the ligand 4-(2-(3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl) ethoxy)-6-(4-amino-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl)-N, N-diphenyl-1, 3, 5-triazin-2- amine (pypzt-1) and copper (II) bromide (ie complex 8) is capable of catalysing the ...
