Electronic properties and stereochemistry of the copper(II) ion. Part VII. Mono(diethylenetriamine)copper(II) complexes

Abstract

The electronic, e.s.r., and i.r. spectra of a series of polycrystalline Cu(dien)XY,zH₂O and Cu(dien)βX₂ type complexes are reported, where X and Y are various anions and β= ammonia, ethylenediamine, 2,2′-bipyridyl, and diethylenetriamine. From a correlation of the three types of spectral data a tentative prediction is made of the local molecular copper(II) ion environment present in the different complexes.
