Synthesis, electrochemical and structural characterization of novel azacrown ether containing macrocyclic redox-active vic-dioxime ligand and its mononuclear transition metal complexes: Application of DEPT, HSQC, HMBC-NMR and cyclic voltammetry

This paper presents a new azacrown containing vic-dioxime; anti-N-(4-aminophenyl)aza-15-crown-5-glyoxime (LH2), and its mononuclear nickel(II), copper(II), cobalt(II), cadmium(II) and zinc(II) complexes. The azacrown moieties appended at the periphery of the oxime provide solubility for the vic-dioxime ligand and complexes in common organic solvents. The mononuclear M(LH)2 (M = Ni and Cu), M(LH)2(H2O)2 (M = Co) and [M(LH)(H2O)(Cl)] (M = Cd and Zn) complexes have been obtained with the metal:ligand ratios of 1:2 and 1:1. The structure of the ligand is confirmed by elemental analysis, Fourier tr ...More
