Abstract |
The new tribasic N(2)S(2) ligand H(3)ttfasbz has been synthesized by condensation of 4-thenoyl 2,2,2-trifluoroacetone and S-benzyl dithiocarbazate. On complexation with copper(II) acetate, spontaneous oxidation to the Cu(III) oxidation state is observed, and the complex [Cu(ttfasbz)] has been isolated and characterized structurally. Reduction to the EPR active Cu(II) analogue has been achieved chemically and also electrochemically, and in both cases, the process is totally reversible. The Cu(III/II) redox potential of the complex is remarkably low and similar to that of the ferrocenium/ferrocene couple. Further reduction to the formally monovalent (d(10)) dianion [Cu(I)(ttfasbz)](2-) may be achieved electrochemically. Computational chemistry demonstrates that the three redox states [Cu(ttfasbz)], [Cu(ttfasbz)](-), and [Cu(ttfasbz)](2-) are truly Cu(III), Cu(II), and Cu(I) complexes, respectively, and the potentially noninnocent ligand does not undergo any redox reactions. |
