Rare monomeric-dimeric copper(II) cinnamate complexes in one single crystal: Syntheses, characterization, structure determination and DFT studies of two copper(II) complexes
摘要
Rare monomeric as well as dimeric Cu(II) complexes, [Cu2(尾-pic)4L4][Cu(尾-pic)2L2(H2O)2]路2H2O (1), (where L = cinnamate and 尾-pic = 尾-picoline) in one single crystal have been synthesized by the reaction of copper(II) cinnamate and excess of 尾-pic while a monomeric complex [Cu(py)2L2(H2O)]路py (2) was obtained in a similar reaction by using py (py = pyridine) instead of 尾-pic. Both of these copper(II) complexes have been characterized by spectroscopic techniques, TGA, X-ray crystallography and DFT studies.
