Abstract
Stable, readily accessible and in part even structurally established paramagnetic complex cations Cu2(m-h4-BL)L2+$\surd$, BL = bridging ligand, L = Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 or 2 PPh3, were studied by high-frequency (245 GHz) and X-band EPR spectroscopy. The dicopper(I)/anion radical ligand formulation as opposed to a mixed-valent dimetal description is supported by the high-frequency EPR results which show g components between 2.0220 and 1.9968. The largest (rhombic) g anisotropy Dg was found for the system with BL = azodi-tert-Bu formate and L = Ph2P(CH2)6PPh2, the smallest (axial) Dg splittings for 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-bridged species. There is a clear relation between Dg as obtained from the high-field measurements and the 63,65Cu hyperfine coupling as measured from soln. spectra in the X band. on SciFinder(R)
