The Synthesis and Characterization of Various Multidentate and Macrocyclic Complexes of Copper(II) and Oxavanadium(IV)

Abstract

The goal of this research was to synthesize various multidentate and macrocyclic ligands and to prepare homobinuclear copper(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes of these ligands. In addition, a heterobinuclear oxovanadium-copper complex as well as the cobalt and nickel complexes of a multidentate ligand were also attempted. Due to time constraints, it was not possible to examine the cobalt and nickel complexes in great detail. To facilitate the preparation of these complexes various multidentate and macrocyclic ligands were prepared from procedures following the work of Robson in Australia and Okawa and Kida in Japan.
