Abstract

AbstractThe imine ligand tris(2‐(propan‐2‐ylideneamino)‐ethyl)amine (imine3tren) had been prepared and characterized. The complexes [Na(imine3tren)(C3H6O)]BPh4, [Cu(imine3tren)]BPh4, [Zn(imine3tren)(CH2Cl2)2](BPh4)2 and [Ni(imine3tren)Br]BPh4 were synthesized and structurally characterized. In contrast to copper(I) complexes with related tripodal ligands [Cu(imine3tren)]BPh4 reacted quite slowly with dioxygen in solution and no “dioxygen adduct” complex could be spectroscopically detected. Cyclic voltammetry of this complex only showed an irreversible oxidation to a copper(II) species.
