Copper-Bispidine coordination chemistry: syntheses, structures, solution properties, and oxygenation reactivity

Copper(I) and copper(II) complexes of two mononucleating and four dinucleating tetradentate ligands with a bispidine backbone (2,4-substituted (2-pyridyl or 4-methyl-2-pyridyl) 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanone) have been prepared and analyzed structurally, spectroscopically, and electrochemically.

Description
Summary:Copper(I) and copper(II) complexes of two mononucleating and four dinucleating tetradentate ligands with a bispidine backbone (2,4-substituted (2-pyridyl or 4-methyl-2-pyridyl) 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanone) have been prepared and analyzed structurally, spectroscopically, and electrochemically. The structures of the copper chromophores are square pyramidal, except for two copper(I) compounds which are four-coordinate with one noncoordinated pyridine. The other copper(I) structures have the two pyridine donors, the co-ligand (NCCH3), and one of the tertiary amines (N3) in-plane with the copper center and the other amine (N7) coordinated axially (Cu−N3 > Cu−N7, approximately 2.25 Å vs 2.20 Å). The copper(II) compounds with pyridine donors have a similar structure, but the axial amine has a weaker bond to the copper(II) center (Cu−N3 < Cu−N7, approximately 2.03 Å vs 2.30 Å). The structures with methylated pyridine donors are also square pyramidal with the co-ligands (Cl- or NCCH3) in-plane. With NCCH3 the same structural type as for the other copper(II) complexes is observed, and with the bulkier Cl- the co-ligand is trans to N7, leading to a square pyramidal structure with the pyridine donors rotated out of the basal plane and only a small difference between axial and in-plane amines (2.15, 2.12 Å). These structural differences, enforced by the rigid bispidine backbone, lead to large variations in spectroscopic and electrochemical properties and reactivities. Oxygenation of the copper(I) complexes with pyridine-substituted bispidine ligands leads to relatively stable μ-peroxo−dicopper(II) complexes; with a preorganization of the dicopper chromophores, by linking the two donor sets, these peroxo compounds are stable at room temperature for up to 1 h. The stabilization of the peroxo complexes is to a large extent attributed to the square pyramidal coordination geometry with the substrate bound in the basal plane, a structural motif enforced by the rigid bispidine backbone. The stabilities and structural properties are also seen to correlate with the spectroscopic (UV−vis and Raman) and electrochemical properties.
