ABSTRACT

In this thesis vas discussed the successful syntheses

of the three nev compounds, bis(2-pyridylmethyl)2unineaqua-

copper(II) perchlorate, bis(pyridylmethyl)2uninepyridyl-

copper(II) perchlorate, and 2-[2-(2-pyridylethyl)-

iminomethyl]pyridinecopper(II) perchlorate.

Surprisingly, vith either vater or pyridine occupying

the fourth coordination position in the copper(II) dmpa

and pip complexes, no noticeable effect upon the d-d bands

vas detected in the UV/visible spectra.

An oxidized product, [CuLi(dmpa)(py)](ClO^)3, may

have been formed. If further vork proves this to be the

case, other non-hydroxylic oxidizing agents vill need to

be tried in an attempt to prepare [Cu(dmpa)(py)](ClO^)3.

It appears that basic H2O2 is too strong of an

oxidizing agent for the oxidation of [Cu(pip)(py)](C10^)2•

In the basic H2O2 media the pip ligand is vigorously

oxidized.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

General Chemistry of Copper

Copper is a transition metal, vhich in the zero

oxidation state has an electron configuration of

[Ar]4s24p*3d'. Copper is found in three different

oxidation states: Cu(I), Cu(II), and Cu(III).

Copper(I) atoms have 10 d electrons, and if vieved to

be in an octahedral field, the d orbitals are filled, as

shovn in Figure l(a)^. Cu(I) complexes being d ^ have no

Jahn-Teller distortion. Cu(I) complexes are dieunagnetic

and typically colorless. If a Cu(I) complex is colored,

the color is a result of a charge transfer band or an

internal transition in a ligand.^

In the copper(II) oxidation state, the metal has 9 d

electrons. In a distorted octahedral field, the ordering

of the d orbitals is presented in Figure l(b)^. Jahn-

Teller distortion causes a splitting of e^ and t2g

orbitals.^'^ Most Cu(II) complexes are square planar for

this reason.^'^' Usually observed in the electronic

spectra of Cu(II) complexes is a single broad, poorly

resolved band envelope.^ This envelope is typical of

Cu(II) complexes in tetragonal complexes.^ These

Page 9: THE CHEMISTRY OF COPPER(II) COMPLEXES IN CHEMISTRY …

complexes are generally blue or green because of an

absorption band in the 600-900 nm region of the spectrxim.

Copper(III) species have only 8 d electrons. The

expected ordering of the d orbitals is summarized in

Figure 1(c).^'^ Bonds to ligands on the z-axis are

greatly elongated, levering the energy of the system along

vith the symmetry.^ Because of this elongation along the

z-8ucis, those d orbitals vhich have a z-component vill be

stabilized relative to the other d orbitals. Cu(IlI)

complexes are usually square planar.^'^^ Square planar

complexes are favored by metal ions vith a d electron

configuration and ligands high in the spectrochemical

series.^^'^^ The expectation of square planar

coordination in Cu.(III) complexes has been confirmed by

X-ray crystallography.^^ In addition to other spectral

bands, spectra of Cu(III) complexes have at least one

intense charge-transfer band near 360 nm along vith the

concomitant Cu(II) spectral d-d band.^^'^^ Spectral data

for some knovn Cu(III) complexes are presented in

Table i.l4;i6,17,18,19,20

The structures of the tvo tridentate ligands used in

this study, bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, (dmpa) and 2-[(2-

(2-pyridyl)ethylimino)methyl]pyridine, (pip) are presented

in Figure 2. Dmpa contains tvo aromatic nitrogen atoms in

Page 10: THE CHEMISTRY OF COPPER(II) COMPLEXES IN CHEMISTRY …

pyridyl groups and one aliphatic nitrogen atom.^^ The

second ligand used vas 2-[(2-(2-pyridyl)ethylimino)

methyl]pyridine, (pip). Pip also contains tvo aromatic

nitrogen atoms in pyridyl groups but instead of an

aliphatic nitrogen donor atom, it has one Schiff base

nitrogen.^^ The bis(2-pyridylmethyl)2unine, dmpa, and the

2-[(2-(2-pyridyl)ethylimino)methyl]pyridine, pip, ligands

vould be expected to form stable 1:1 complexes vith Cu(II)

and Cu(III) ions containing 5- and 6-membered chelate

rings (Figures 2 & 3).^^'^^'^^

The analytical methods used to characterize the

products formed are %C, H, & N elemental analyses, IR and

electronic spectroscopies.^^

Objectives

The primary objective of the synthetic and

spectroscopic studies presented in this thesis is to

advance the understanding of copper(II)-polyeunine complex

coordination chemistry. Of particular interest is the

relative positions of aliphatic euaine, aromatic zunine and

Schiff base nitrogen atoms in the spectrochemical series.

A secondary objective of this research vas to use tvo

tridentate nitrogen ligand-containing Cu(II) complexes in

an attempt to synthesize stable Cu(III) complexes by

reaction of these Cu(II) compounds vith basic hydrogen

Page 11: THE CHEMISTRY OF COPPER(II) COMPLEXES IN CHEMISTRY …

peroxide. A related goal vas to determine vhether the

presence of a Schiff base linkage vould stabilize the

Cu(III) complexes.

complex vas synthesized by the literature method^^. All

of the elemental analyses reported vere obtained from

Desert Analytics (Tucson, Arizona).

Instruments

Infrared (IR) and UV/visible spectra vere obtained on

Perkin-Elmer 1600 Series FT-IR and Shimadzu UV-2 60

spectrophotometers, respectively. All pH measurements

vere taken at 25 ^C using a Metrohm/Brinkmann pH-104 pH

and the reaction mixture vas stirred vith moderate heating

at 40 ®C for one hr. The solution vas then stirred

without heat and suction-filtered to obtain 71.9568 g

(0.1503 mol) of an air-dried bright blue precipitate,

[Cu(dmpa) (H2O) ] (0104)2/ * ** * blue-green supernatant. The

bright blue [Cu(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2 precipitate vas then

vashed vith ethyl ether and vacuum dried. Yield: 89%

(72g, 0.15 mol). Anal. Calcd: %c 30.05; %H 3.15; %N 8.76.

synthesized by transferring 36.3911 g (0.0760 mol) of

[Cu(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2 ^^^^ ^ beaker containing 100 mL of

H2O, generating a murky bright blue solution. To this

solution vas added 6.2 mL (0.0766 mol) of pyridine, vhich

immediately turned the reaction mixture to a murky purple

color. Another 100 mL of H2O vas added to the reaction

mixture vhich vas stirred for 0.5 hr. and then cooled in

an ice bath. The reaction mixture vas suction-filtered to

obtain 37.5541 g (0.0696 mol) of a bright purple

Attempted Synthesis of [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)3

The synthesis of the Cu(III) compound

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)3 vas attempted by adding 19.1449 g

(0.0355 mol) of [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 into a beaker vith

5.7012 g (0.0355 mol) of LiC104*3H20, 0.2 mL of pyridine

(0.0025 mol), and 100 mL of H2O. The pyridine added vas

in a ten percent excess in order to make sure that H2O

vould not displace the pyridine as a ligand. Tventy-four

mL of 30% H2O2 vas added to the heated reaction mixture.

A reaction took place at 85 ^C, vith formation of a dark-

colored precipitate plus a dark green solution. The

solution vas cooled vith ice and suction-filtered to

obtain 14.4568 g of a gray precipitate vith a dark green

supernatant. The gray precipitate vas vashed vith ethyl

ether and vacuum dried. Anal. Calcd: %C 31.8; %H 2.68;

%N 8.75. Found: %C 37.34; %H 3.09; %N 10.07.

methanol. The solution vas heated for 25 min. To this

solution 0.34 mL (4.2 mmol) of pyridine vas added along

vith 10 more mL of methanol, creating a dark blue-green

and cloudy solution. The reaction mixture vas heated

moderately, stirred, cooled, and suction-filtered to

obtain 1.3491 g (2.44 mmol) of [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2/ a

pale blue precipitate vith a blue-green supernatant. The

precipitate vas vashed vith ethyl ether and vacuum dried.

Yield: 58% (1.3g, 2.44 mmol). Anal. Calcd: %C 39.11; %H

Attempted Synthesis of [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)3

The synthesis of [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)3 ^^^ attempted

by adding 5.8670 g (0.0119 mol) of [Cu(pip)(H2O)](CIO4)2

to 50 mL of H2O, generating a murky light green solution.

To this solution vas added 1.0 mL (0.0124 mol) of

pyridine, vhich immediately turned the solution to a dark

greenish-blue murky color. The ten percent excess of

pyridine vas to ensure that pyridine remains a ligand in

the fourth coordination position. The mixture vas then

stirred and 1.9087 g (0.0119 mol) of LiC104*3H20 vas

added. The reaction mixture vas placed in a vater bath at

80 °C, and 12 mL of 30% H2O2 solution vas added. An

immediate reaction occurred, as the reaction mixture

foamed and became a dark murky green color. The reaction

mixture remained in the vater bath for 45 min. This

solution vas alloved to cool and then placed in the

refrigerator overnight. The reaction mixture vas then

suction-filtered to obtain 0.1688 g of a greenish-brovn

precipitate and a dark green supernatant.

Attempted Synthesis of other [Cu(dmpa)(X)](0104)2 and [Cu(pip)(X)](0104)2 complexes

The syntheses of other [Cu(dmpa)(X)](0104)2 ^"^

[Cu(pip)(X)](0104)2 complexes vas attempted, X = NH3,

methyl amine, or benzyl amine, by the same method used in

the [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 and [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2

syntheses above. Apparent copper(II)-aunine coordination

reactions vere signalled by distinct color changes

folloving the addition of these zunines. Precipitated

products vere shovn to be impure from the % C, H, and N

microanalysis results indicating that further purification

vould be necessary. These products vere not pursued

further in this thesis due to the desire to focus

upon the aqua and pyridyl copper(II) complexes of dmpa and

pip.

Page 21: THE CHEMISTRY OF COPPER(II) COMPLEXES IN CHEMISTRY …

CHAPTER III

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Three nev copper(II) complexes vere synthesized:

[CU(pip)(py)](0104)2/ [CU(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2/ and

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2* ^hese complexes vere characterized

by %C, H, & N microanalyses coupled vith infrared and

UV/visible spectroscopy.^^ The analytical data listed in

Table 2 for these three nev complexes confirms their

purities.

The infrared spectra for the nevly formed compounds,

[Cu(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2 ^^^ [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2/ can be

vieved in Figure 4. The IR band positions and assignments

for [Cu(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2 ^^^ [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 can

be seen in Tables 3 and 4, respectively. A comparison of

the IR spectra for [Cu(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2 ^^^

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 reveals that the infrared band

frequencies increase slightly. An exception to these

findings is that one or both of the perchlorate bands in

the [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 complex are of a lover intensity

than those in the [Cu(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2 complex.

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 ^^® presented in Figures 5 and 6 in

various solvents. The teUsulated d-d bands for the

[CU(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2 *^^ [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 complexes

in various solvents are in Tables 5 and 6, respectively.

It could be reasoneOsly expected that the

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 complex vould have a d-d band vith a

larger 10 Dq than for [Cu(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2/ because of

the relative positions of pyridine and H2O in the

spectrochemical series.^^ As a result, the d-d bands for

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 should occur at a shorter vavelength

than for [Cu(dmpa)(H2O)](0104)2- ^^^Y small changes in

the vavelength of the d-d bands are observed betveen

[Cu(dmpa) (HjO)] (0104)2 *^^ [Cu(dmpa) (py) ] (0104)2 . '^^^^

indicates that the tridentate ligand, bis(2-

pyridylmethy1)amine, dmpa, is playing a significant role.

When the solvents are arranged in order of veakest field

ligand to strongest field ligand, as presented in Table 7,

the energy of the d-d bands increases correspondingly.

This vould seem to indicate that the solvent is playing an

important role. The presence of the broad band around 650

nm signals the presence of copper(II) in the complex vhich

is consistent vith the d-d bands characteristic of other

Cu(II) complexes, as presented in Table s.^^'^^'^^'^^

The UV/visible and IR spectra of the product produced

upon the addition of basic H2O2 to [Cu(dmpa)(py)](CIO4)2

are presented in Figures 7 and 8, respectively. The

analytical results in Table 2 represent that the %C, H,

Page 23: THE CHEMISTRY OF COPPER(II) COMPLEXES IN CHEMISTRY …

16

and N analysis results for the attempted oxidation product

are very similar to those for the reactant

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2- ^^® ^^ ^^^^ positions and

assignments for [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 ^^^ ^^® desired

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)3 complexes are tabulated in Tables 9

and 10, and reveal that the tvo products have very similar

IR bands. The UV/visible spectrum for the attempted

oxidation product of [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 ^^^ * ^'^ hand

in the visible region of the spectrum at 649.8 nm.

This band is shifted to a higher energy relative to

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2* ^^® attempted oxidation of

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 to [Cu(dmpa)(py)](CIO4)3 does not

seem to have occurred as evidenced by elemental analysis,

IR, and UV spectroscopy. The product appears to be a

copper(II) species that is very similar to the precursor,

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2/ despite the distinct color change.

Another possibility, hovever, is that an oxidized

product vas formed, the [CuLi(dmpa)(py)](CIO4)3 complex.

A possible reaction pathvay for this is that H2O2 could

have been decomposed to hydroxyl radical. Hydroxyl ion

could then have been formed vith the addition of one

electron to the hydroxyl radical. Hydroxide ion is

capable of abstracting a proton from the aliphatic

nitrogen to form H2O. LiC104 is a source of Li*** vhich

could have then bonded to the aliphatic nitrogen. This

Page 24: THE CHEMISTRY OF COPPER(II) COMPLEXES IN CHEMISTRY …

17

complex vould be expected to have spectroscopic properties

very similar to the [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 Precursor

complex. Due to insolubility problems, additional vork

beyond the scope of this thesis vill need to be done to

confirm vhether this is indeed vhat occurred.

The infrared spectra of [Cu(pip)(H2O)](0104)2 *^^ ^®

nevly formed [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 can be seen in Figure 9.

The IR band positions and assignments for these tvo

complexes are presented in Tables 11 and 12. A comparison

of the IR bands betveen [Cu(pip)(H2O)](0104)2 and

[Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 ^®v®als that the IR spectra are very

similar vith the addition of a fev secondary/aromatic

amine stretches in the [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 complex. This

result is to be expected vith the additional pyridyl group

for this complex.

The UV/visible spectra of [Cu(pip)(H2O)](0104)2 and

[Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 complexes in H2O can be seen in

Figures 10 and 11, respectively. The tabulated UV/visible

bands for [Cu(pip)(H2O)](0104)2 ^^^ [Cu(pip)(py)](CIO4)2

are presented in Table 13. There is only a slight shift

in the vavelengths of the d-d bands for

[Cu(pip)(H2O)](0104)2 and [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 in pH 3.18

and 10.30 solutions. The UV bands occurring near 380 nm

complexes are believed to be due to internal ligand

transitions.27/28

The d-d bands in the visible spectra of the

[Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 *^^ [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 complexes

are presented in Table 14. It is observed that in the

high and lov pH solutions of [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 and

[Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2/ ^^^ ^"^ ^^^^ ^^ *^®

[Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 complex occurs at a longer vavelength

than the [Cu(dmpa)(py)](CIO4) complex and thus a lover

energy than in the [Cu(dmpa)(py)](CIO4) complex. Also,

the molar adssorptivity in both the pip complexes is lover

than in the analogous dmpa complexes.

The IR spectrum of the desired [Cu(pip)(py)](CIO4)2

oxidation product is presented in Figure 12. A comparison

of the IR positions and assignments for the desired

[Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 oxidation and [Cu(pip)(py)](CIO4)2

complexes can be vieved in TzUsle 15. The

Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 oxidation product and the

Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 complex have IR bands vhich are

considerably different. The product formed in the

oxidation attempt is not soluble in H2O (pH 5.3), CH3CN,

or n-hexane, and relatively insoluble in CH3OH. Only some

of the product goes into solution in CH3OH. The soluble

part generates no d-d band in the visible region of the

spectrum. The UV spectrum of the [Cu(pip)(py)](CIO4)2

Page 26: THE CHEMISTRY OF COPPER(II) COMPLEXES IN CHEMISTRY …

19

methanolic solution contains tvo bands at 257.0 nm and

204.2 nm, probably pyridyl internal transitions.^7/28

In the [Cu(dmpa)(py)](0104)2 oxidation, the product

formed after the oxidation vas the major product. This

vas not so in the [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 reaction. During

the oxidation of [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2/ several products

vere isolated. None of these products occurred in an

appreciable yield. Side products #2312, 2315, and 2321

vere present in the original supernatant solution and

appeared to differ only in their solubilities in the

methanol/ethyl ether solvent. These side products vere

isolated upon successive cycles of evaporation, methanolic

dissolution and precipitation vith the addition of a

minimal zunount of ethyl ether. The side products #2312,

2315, and 2321 demonstrated a dramatic change in

solubility properties relative to the [Cu(pip)(py)](CIO4)2

complex. Once the side products vere separated by

precipitation, they vere no longer soluble in that

solution.

The IR spectra for side products #2312, 2315, and

2321 are displayed in Figures 12 and 13. In Table 16, the

infrared band assignments and positions for the three

major side products #2312, 2315, and 2321 are presented.

Product #2312 does not appear to contain any pyridyl

groups. The attempted oxidation product and product #2321

Page 27: THE CHEMISTRY OF COPPER(II) COMPLEXES IN CHEMISTRY …

20

appear to be quite similar to each other. The attempted

oxidation products and the other three side products

appear to have significantly less IR bands than the

precursor, [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2* ^^ additional band

appears near 1600 cm'^ for products #2315, 2321, and the

first isolated [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 oxidation product.

This peak is possibly due to the presence of C02* The CO2

peak could be -l-a result of the basic H2O2 medium oxidizing

the pip ligand.

The oxidation of [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 does not seem

to have occurred vhen taking into account the lack of a

visible band, the significantly different solubility

properties, and the severely differing IR bands from the

[Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2 complex. The [Cu(pip)(py)](CIO4)2

oxidation product vas not sent out for analysis as there

vere several minor side products generated.

CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSION

In this thesis was discussed the successful syntheses

of the three new compounds, bis(2-pyridylmethyl)sunineaqua-

copper(II) perchlorate, bis(pyridylmethyl)aminepyridyl-

copper(II) perchlorate, and 2-[2-(2-pyridylethyl)-

iminomethyl]pyridinecopper(II) perchlorate.

Surprisingly, with either water or pyridine occupying

the fourth coordination position in the copper(II) dmpa

and pip complexes, no noticeaJsle effect upon the d-d bands

was detected in the UV/visible spectra.

An oxidized product, [CuLi(dmpa)(py)](OIO4)3, may

have been formed. If further work proves this to be the

case, other non-hydroxylic oxidizing agents will need to

be tried in an attempt to prepare [Cu(dmpa)(py)](CIO4)3.

It appears that basic H2O2 is too strong of an

oxidizing agent for the oxidation of [Cu(pip)(py)](0104)2•

In the basic H2O2 media the pip ligand is vigorously

oxidized.
