Abstract
Abstract The synthesis and properties of the copper(II) complex with dimethylaminomethylphosphine oxide as a ligand will be presented. The complex, with the formula [Cu(NO3)2(POC3H10N)2] 1, has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, SQUID and X-ray measurements. The X-ray structure was determined for the complex 1 and for the ligand dimethylaminomethylphosphine oxide (DMAO) 2. The single crystal X-ray structure of 1 shows that in the crystal the copper ions form distorted octahedral environment, consisting of two oxygen and two nitrogen atoms from the DMAO ligand. Additionally, one oxygen atom of each anion is semi-coordinated to the copper ion. The solid state magnetic measurements show that the complex 1 is paramagnetic with weak antiferromagnetic interactions in low temperatures.
