Abstract

The cationic d10 metal complexes (bdz)Cu(PPh3)2+ of the p accepting bidiazine (bdz) chelate ligands 3,3'-bipyridazine, 2,2'-bipyrazine, 2,2'- and 4,4'-bipyrimidine were prepd. and compared with the analogous complex of 2,2'-bipyridine. The long wavelength metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) absorption max. and the redn. potentials indicate relatively little p* orbital stabilization by +Cu(PPh3)2. The particular d orbital splitting in a tetrahedral ligand field results in an addnl. contribution from Dt to the energy difference between the 1st and 2nd MLCT band. Only the most easily reduced complexes of 4,4'-bipyrimidine and 2,2'-bipyrazine yield neutral radical complexes (Cu(0)) which were characterized by ESR spectroscopy. on SciFinder(R)
