Abstract
Copper(II) complexes on the basis of 3,5-di-tert-octyl-o-benzoquinone (3,5-tOc-Q) have been synthesised. Derivatives of the composition: (3,5-tOc-SQ)2Cu (I), (3,5-tOc-Cat)Cu(Phen) (II), (3,5-tOc-Cat)Cu(DPQ) (III) and (3,5-tOc-Cat)Cu(DPPZ) (IV), where 3,5-tOc-SQ is the anion radical of 3,5-di-tert-octyl-o-benzoquinone, 3,5-tOc-Cat is the dianion of 3,5-di-tert-octyl-o-benzoquinone, Phen is phenanthroline, DPQ is dipyrido[3,2-d: 2′,3′-f]quinoxaline, DPPZ — dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine. The molecular and crystal structures of complexes I and II were established by X-ray diffraction. The spectral characteristics of the synthesised copper(II) derivatives have been investigated by electronic absorption spectroscopy. Crystallographic data for compounds I and II have been deposited in the Cambridge Structural Data Bank (No. 2291614 for I and No. 2279045 for II).
