Synthesis and structural charaterization of a Cu(II) complex with 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (PDPT)

Abstract

Reaction between Cu(II) perchlorate and 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (PDPT) ligand in ethanol produced [Cu(PDPT)₂(ClO₄)₂]. This compound has been characterized by UV/VIS, IR and CHN analysis. The structure of [Cu(PDPT)₂(ClO₄)₂] has been solved by X-ray crystallography. The coordination environment around the Cu(II) may be described as distorted octahedral in which two anions in the complex are coordinated, occupying trans positions.

Keywords:

• 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine
