The crystal and molecular structure of a blue-violet copper(II) compound of the formula Cu(2-pic)2 (2-pic = 2-picolinate or pyridine-2-carboxylate ion) was determined. Its structure consists of a copper atom lying in the centre of symmetry, trans square-planar coordinated via two pyridine nitrogens and the carboxylate oxygen atoms of the two picolinate anions. The bonding interaction between the copper and the oxygen of carboxylate atoms of neighboring planes completes the square-planar coordination to a strongly tetragonally distorted octahedral stereochemistry (CuN2 O2 O2′ chromophore), when long axial Cu-O bond distances are included. This intermolecular interaction, with the Cu?Cu distance of 5.163 ?, is weak, but permits to define the structure as a one-dimensional chain with a double out-of-plane carboxylate bridge. The magnetic behavior of the compound can be explained as a result of magnetic exchange within the chain through long Cu-O axial bonds (J = -0.73 cm-1) and a superexchange pathway through the hydrogen bond network between adjacent molecules (zJ′ = -0.06 cm-1). The magnitude and the nature of the exchange coupling are explained on the basis of the structural data results.

We report a complex with a rare CuII-O-CuII structural motif that is stable at room temperature, which allows its in-depth characterization by a variety of spectroscopic methods. Interest in such compounds is fueled by the recent discovery that a CuII-O-Cu II species on the surface of Cu-ZSM-5 is capable of oxidizing methane to methanol, and this in turn ties into mechanistic discussions on the methane oxidation at the dicopper site within the particulate methane monooxygenase. For the synthesis of our Cu2O complex we have developed a novel, neutral ligand system, FurNeu, exhibiting two N-(N′,N′-dimethylaminoethyl) (2-pyridylmethyl)amino binding pockets connected by a dibenzofuran spacer. The reaction of FurNeu with CuCl yielded [FurNeu](Cu2(μ-Cl))(CuCl 2), 1, demonstrating the geometric potential of the ligand to stabilize Cu-X-Cu moieties. A CuI precursor with weakly coordinating anions was chosen in the next step, namely [Cu(NCCH3) 4]OTf, which led to the formation of [FurNeu](Cu(NCCH 3))2(OTf)2, 3. Treatment of 3 with O 2 or PhIO led to identical green solutions, whose UV-vis spectra were markedly different from the one displayed by [FurNeu](Cu)2(OTf) 4, 4, prepared independently from FurNeu and Cu(OTf)2. Further investigations including PhIO consumption experiments, NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy, HR-ESI mass spectrometry, and protonation studies led to the identification of the green product as [FurNeu](Cu2(μ-O))(OTf) 2, 5. DOSY NMR spectroscopy confirmed its monomeric character. Over longer periods of time 5 decomposes to give [Cu(picoloyl)2], formed through an oxidative N-dealkylation reaction followed by further oxidation of the ligand. Due to its slow decomposition reaction, all attempts to crystallize 5 failed. However, its structure in solution could be determined by EXAFS analysis in combination with DFT calculations, which revealed a Cu-O-Cu angle that amounts to 105.17. Moreover, TDDFT calculations helped to rationalize the UV-vis absorptions of 5. The reactivity of complex 5 with 2,4-di-tert- butylphenol, DTBP, was also investigated; the initially formed biphenol product, TBBP, was found to further react in the presence of excessive O2 to yield 2,4,7,9-tetra-tert-butyloxepino[2,3-b]benzofuran, TBOBF, via an intermediate diphenoquinone. It turned out that 5, or its precursor 3, can even be employed as a catalyst for the oxidation of DTBP to TBBP or for the oxidation of TBBP to TBOBF.

Pyridine-2-carbonitrile (2-CNpy) undergoes Cu(II) or Co(II)-promoted hydrolysis to pyridine-2-carboxamide (piaH) and/or pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (pycH). The pathway of pycH formation depends on the presence of 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol (AL1) and on the central atom. In the absence of AL1, Co(II) or Cu(II) ions mediate piaH formation under mild reaction conditions in the first hydrolytic step. Cu(II) ions assist in piaH transformation to pycH by subsequent reflux. In the presence of AL1 and Co(II), a Co(II) complex containing pyoxaL1 (2-(2-pyridinyl)-4,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-oxazoline) is formed in the first stage; subsequent decomposition of pyoxaL1 under the reflux yields pycH. Under similar conditions, no solid Cu(II) complex with pyoxaL1 can be isolated, but a Cu(II) complex with coordinated pyc- anions precipitates from the reaction mixture. The synthesis, spectral and magnetic properties of the complexes [Co(H2O)2 (piaH)2]Cl2, [Co(H2O)2(pyc)2] · 2H2O, [Cu(H2O)2(piaH)2]Cl2, [Cu(pyc)2] and [Cu(pyc)2] · 2H2O, including the structure determination of the latter one, are described.

Monoselenoether ligand [PySeCH2Py] (L) reacts with CoCl2, CuCl2, CuI and Pd(OAc)2 resulting in the formation of molecular or polymeric complexes. The synthesis and structural elucidation of the complexes [CoCl2(L)] (1), [Cu2Cl4(L)2] (2a), [CuCl2(L)] (2b), [Cu2Cl2(PySe)2] (2c), [Cu(2-PyCOO)2] (2d), [Cu2I2(L)2] (3), [Cu2I2(L)]n (4) and [Pd2(CH3COO)2(PySeCHPy)2]·7H2O (5) demonstrate the versatility of this class of pyridylselenium ligands. For all compounds, the ligand offers N and/or Se atoms as donors and, in the case of 5, the ligand also builds C-Pd bonds to generate a cyclometallated palladium(ii) complex.
