Abstract

A new copper(II) complex $[Cu(HL)(ClO_4)](ClO_4)$ (1), where HL is a multidentate Schiff base N,N'-(2-hydroxypropane-1,3- diyl)bis(pyridine-2-aldimine), is prepared, structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography and its spectral and electrochemical properties studied. The complex forms a one-dimensional chain in the solid state structure in which the monomeric $\lbrace Cu(HL)\rbrace$ units are linked by the perchlorate ligand. The complex has an axially elongated six coordinate geometry (4+2) with a $CuN_4O_2$ core in which the Schi. base ligand displays a tetradentate mode of bonding in the basal plane. The axial ligand is perchlorate with a signi .cantly long Cu–O bond of ca. $2.6 \AA$ . The one-electron paramagnetic complex displays a cyclic voltammetric response for the Cu(II)/Cu(I) couple at 0.01 V versus SCE in MeCN–0.1 M TBAP. The azomethine bond of the Schi. base in 1 on treatment with $H_2O_2$ undergoes oxidative conversion to form a bis(picolinato)copper(II) $\cdot$ dihydrate species through the formation of an amido intermediate as evidenced from the solution infrared spectral studies.
