Abstract

copper carboxylates

dimeric complexes

crystal structure

cyclic voltammetry

diffusing coefficient

heterogeneous kinetics

The reaction of the sodium salt of para substituted phenyl acetic acid with CuSO4 in water and subsequent treatment with pyridine gives binuclear centro-symmetric complexes pyCu(R–C6H4CH2COO)4Cupy, where R = 4-OMe (1) and 4-Cl− (2). The structures of both complexes were solved by X-ray single crystal analysis. The frame of the complexes is constructed as a dimeric ‘paddle-wheel’ with four carboxylate bridges. The apical position is occupied by a pyridine ligand and there is a Cu–Cu bond as well. The compounds demonstrated one-electron redox behavior and their peak currents were found to increase linearly with the square root of the sweep rate (ν1/2). The overall electrode processes were found to be activation plus diffusion controlled. The values of the formal potential (E ´), diffusion coefficient (D) and heterogeneous rate constant (k°) were evaluated for the electroreduction process for both the compounds.
