Abstract
Copper(II) complexes with 2-amino-5-picoline N-oxide (2am5PicO = L), CuL 4X 2(X = ClO 4, BF 4, and NO 3), CuL 2X 2 (X = Cl, Br) and CuLX 2 (X = Cl) have been isolated and characterized using spectral methods (i.e. IR, UV-vis and ESR). Coordination occurs via the N-oxide oxygen exclusively with the amine functional group showing only slight tendency to involve itself in hydrogen bonding to the anions. The halide complexes involve the halide ions in the coordination spheres while the polyatomic anions are not bound directly to copper. The latter compounds have monomeric, 4-coordinate CuO 4 chromophores while the former solids are apparently polymeric. Evidence for N-oxide bridging ligands in the CuL 2X 2 solids and halogen bridging in the CuLX 2 solid is presented.
