New binucleating ligands, (L1) N,N',N'',N'''-tetrakis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-1,4,9,12-tetraazacyclohexadecane, and (L2) N,N',N'',N'''-tetrakis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-1,4,11,14-tetraazacycloeicosane were prepared.From the reaction mixture of copper(II) salt and the ligand, new binuclear copper(II) complexes, Cu2(L1)(NO3)4 (1), Cu2(L2)(NO3)4 (2), Cu2(L2)Br4 (3), and trinuclear complexes, Cu3(L1)Cl6 (4), and Cu3(L2)Cl6 (5) were obtained.Cyclic voltammograms revealed that the trinuclear complexes 4 and 5 are composed with the binuclear complex (1 or 2) and 2-.The interaction between two metal ions in the binuclear complexes are confirmed on the basis of the ESR spectra.These binuclear complexes exhibit higher catalytic activity for the oxidation of TMPD by O2 molecule than those of structurally rigid binuclear copper(II) coordination sites are linked by a single polyatomic chain.
