Abstract

Homo- and heterodinuclear complexes of composition [M2L2](ClO4)2·4H2O, [CuML2](ClO4)2·nH2O (M = Ni, Co or Mn; L = L1 or L 2) and [CuML2Cl2]·2H2O (M = Ni or Co) have been synthesized with the dinucleating ligands 2-hydroxy-5-methyl- benzene-1,3-dicarbaldehyde (HL1) and 1,3-diacetyl-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzene (HL2). These compounds have been characterized and their chemical reactivities investigated. The electrochemical behaviour of [M2L22](ClO4)2·4H2O and [CuML22](ClO4)2·nH2O complexes have been examined in acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide using Hg and Pt electrodes. The cyclic voltammograms obtained with a Hg electrode show quasi-reversible electron transfers for both metal centres that often get complicated due to decomplexation of metal ions and adsorption phenomena. On a Pt electrode irreversible electron transfers occur at more negative potentials.
