A novel 1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane-based tripodal ligand forms a unique tetra(pyrazolate)-bridged tricopper(II) core: solution equilibrium, structure and catecholase activity

Attila Szorcsik, Ferenc Matyuska, Attila Bényei, Nóra V. Nagy, Róbert K. Szilágyi and Tamás Gajda* Dalton Trans., 2016, 45, 14998-15012   ABSTRACT Copper(II) complexes of a polydentate tripodal ligand L × 3HCl (L = N,N’,N’’-tris(5-pyrazolylmethyl)-cis, cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane) were characterized in both solution and solid states. Combined evaluation of potentiometric, UV-VIS, and EPR data indicated the formation of two mononuclear (CuHL, CuL) and three trinuclear (Cu3H−xL2, x = 2, 3, 4) complexes. The high stability and spectroscopic properties of the CuL species indicate Read More …
