Abstract
In this research project, copper(II) coordination chemistry was investigated through
synthesis and analysis copper (II) compounds containing organic ligands mimicking amino
acids in metalloproteins. Diphenylacetic, I-Naphthoxyacetic, and 2-Napthoxyacetic were the
carboxylic acids applied. The imines used were pyridine, 2,2'-bypridine, and 7-azaindole.
Three novel copper coordination compounds, dinuclear C~(lNaphOCH2CO~
4(NCCH3)2-2CH3CN, C~(Ph2CHCO~4(NC6HJ-2(N03)' and
C~(Ph2CHCO~6(bpY)2(BF J-2CH3CN, were produced and characterized. Structural
characterizations of these compounds in addition to several other copper (II) compounds
were done using X-ray crystallography and infrared, electronic absorption, and Raman
spectroscopy. Dinuclear paddle wheel structures were the most common structural
arrangements identified. Inventories of the new structures were typified by different
nuclearity, coordination, and binding m~des, specifically carboxylate shifts.
