Abstract:

Reaction of the N,N,N',N'-p-xylylenediamine tetracetic acid (H$_4$L) with Cu(NO$_3$)$_2$ leads to the formation of a new polynuclear copper complex. Crystal structure of the polynuclear copper complex has been determined. This polynuclear copper complex belongs to the orthorhombic space group Pmn21, and exhibits a novel 3D structure. Rectangular channels with a dimension of 1.105 6 nm$\times$0.696 4 nm, based on the distances of Cu ions, are found in this structure. Additionally, the results of electro spray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) spectra and potentiometric measurements show that the polynuclear copper complex exists as a dinuclear species in the solution. The results may provide theoretical basis to potential applications of the polynuclear copper complex in magnetism, catalysis and structural and functional models of metalloenzymes.

Key words: copper complex, polynuclear complex, crystal structure, iminodiacetic derivative
