Abstract

AbSTRACT The preparation of tetracoordinated copper (I) complexes with the pyrazolyl heterocyclic nitrogen ligand is reported. The new complexes of [Cu(pyrazolyl) 2 ]X type with X = chloride, bromine, and iodine were characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The results obtained show that the heterocyclic nitrogen ligand is bonded in a bidentate fashion to form monometallic complexes. Exploratory homogeneous catalysis experiments of the water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) have been accomplished by the use of copper complexes in 80 % aqueous 4-picoline solutions. For such systems, formation of H 2 y CO 2 was observed in the initial gas samples. Keywords: Copper Complexes, Heterocyclic Nitrogen Ligand, Pyrazolyl Ligand, WGSR. e-mail: p.aguirre@ciq.uchile.cl INTROduCTION Copper species are widely present in Nature as mono- or multinuclear metal complexes and play a crucial role in different enzymes and catalytic systems, leading to a currently growing interest in the development of new copper models
