OXIDATION AND CATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF A BINUCLEAR COPPER(I) COMPLEX WITH A META-XYLYL SPACER LIGAND

摘要: The oxidation product of the binuclear copper (I) complex Cu2L(ClO4)2 (L = N,N'-bis-(6-methyl-2-pyridil) (2'-pyridyl)methyl m-xylylidene imine) has been isolated and structurally characterised. In cupric species, [Cu2L(Me-O)2](ClO4 )2, metal centres are bridged by two methoxide groups, oxygenation xylyl spacer hexadentate ligand is not observed. copper(I) was found to be a catalyst for 3,5-ditertbutylcatechol 3,5-ditertbutyl-o-benzoquinone molecular oxygen
