Abstract

The copper(II) complex of valproic acid and its corresponding pyridine and aniline adducts have been prepared and studied. The complexes were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, IR, electronic and EPR spectra, as well as variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. All data are consistent with a binuclear structure for the complexes with four valproates as bridges and one donor amine ligand per copper atom in the case of adducts. Singlet— triplet energy separation values were found equal to 320, 344 and 300 cm −1 for the copper(II) valproate complex and its pyridine and aniline adducts, respectively.
