Síntese, caracterização e determinação estrutural de complexos de cobre(ii) com derivados de hidroxibenzofenonas

Abstract

Four new mononuclear copper(II) complexes of formula: [Cu(LFQM-115)2] (1), [Cu(LFQM-116)2] (2), [Cu(LFQM-117)2] (3) and [Cu(octyloxy)2] (4) [LFQM-115 = 2-hydroxy-4-O-methylbenzophenone (C14H11O3), LFQM-116 = 2-hydroxy-4-O-butylbenzophenone (C17H18O3) and LFQM-117 = 2-hydroxy-4-O-(3,3-dimethylallyl)benzophenone (C18H18O3) have been prepared and investigated by infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis and powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. In addition, the crystal structures of LFQM-116 and LFQM-117 ligands were also determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The pseudo-translational symmetry found in LFQM-116 and the isomorphism between LFQM-115 and LFQM-117 were discussed. The complexes were prepared from a reaction of copper(II) nitrate trihydrate and the respective ligand in a (1:2) molar ratio in methanol (for 1 and 2) or THF (for 3 and 4) with addition of NaOH. Furthermore, crystallographic studies showed that each copper(II) atom exhibits a square planar geometry and each CuII ion is coordinated by four oxygen atoms of two ligands. The nature and crystal packing through of the intermolecular interactions are discussed. It was evidenced that 2 and 3 are isomorphic crystals and all structures have the same supramolecular synthon.
