Abstract
Abstract The synthesis, crystal structure and physical properties of a mononuclear Cu(II) complex of 1,3-bis(N-methylimidazolimine)propan-2-ol is described. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 11.343(5), b = 11.770(4), c = 8.452(2) A, α = 109.71(2)°, β = 91.25(2)°, γ = 98.24(3)°, V = 1048.4 A3 and Z = 2. The structure of the complex is a distorted square pyramid consisting of the N4 basal plane resulting from coordination of the 1,3-bis(N-methylimidazolimine)propan-2-ol ligand and a weak coordinated apical water molecule. The complex displays quasireversible electrochemical behavior in both aqueous and acetonitrile solutions. In addition, the complex has been studied by UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopies.
