Abstract

Abstract A series of copper complexes employing the neutral, bidentate, pyrazole-based ligand diphenyldipyrazolylmethane was synthesized and fully characterized by various techniques, including elemental analysis, EPR, and structure elucidation by single-crystal X- ray diffraction. The structures of compounds 3− 8 reveal variable coordination environments at the copper center, ranging from square pyramidal to tetrahedral, depending on the ...
