Abstract
- • Binuclear and novel tetranuclear Cu(II) were synthesized and characterized. • The geometries of Cu(II) atoms in complexes 1 and 2 are distinctly different. • The 3-hydroxy coordination easily forms a polynuclear complex. • Different counterions and solvents can give rise to various complexes. • Complexes 1 and 2 show some degree of fluorescence quenching. In this work, a linear acyclic oligo(N,O-donor) salamo-based chelate ligand H 4 L containing both dioxime and Schiff base functionalities was synthesized. Its various bi-nuclear and tetra-nuclear complexes, [Cu 2 (HL)(μ -OAc)]·CH 3 OH (1) and [Cu 4 (HL) 2 (EtOH)](ClO 4) 2 ·2EtOH (2) were self-assembled via the ligand H 4 L with stoichiometric quantities of Cu(OAc) 2 ·H 2 O/Cu(ClO 4) 2 ·6H 2 O in methanol/ethanol, respectively. The bi-nuclear complex 1 consists of a partly deprotonated (HL)3− anion, two Cu(II) atoms, one μ -OAc− counterion. Each Cu(II) atom center is surrounded by a tetragonal cone geometry. However, complex 2 containing four Cu(II) ions, two partially deprotonated (HL)3− anions, and a ligated ethanol molecule, which forms tetranuclear complex 2 containing four and five-coordinated geometries. The structure of complex 2 acquired is unique as shown herein, the different nucleation numbers and geometrical configurations of the resulting crystal structures may be due to the different anions and solvents used in the synthesis process. The binding ratios of the oligo(N,O-donor) ligand to Cu(II) ions were confirmed by UV titration experiments, two of which are consistented with the single-crystal structures. Finally, MEPs, IRI, Hirshfeld surfaces, and intermolecular interactions and reactive sites were analyzed further, the fluorescent properties were explored. Bi- and tetra-nuclear Cu(II) salamo-based complexes, [Cu 2 (HL)(μ -OAc)]·CH 3 OH (1) and [Cu 4 (HL) 2 (EtOH)](ClO 4) 2 ·2EtOH (2) were synthesized and structurally characterized. Complexes 1 and 2 possess four- and five-coordinated geometries, The intermolecular interactions of Cu(II) complexes 1 and 2 were elucidated, which are consistent with the crystal structures. The fluorescence properties of H 4 L and its Cu(II) complexes were investigated. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
