Abstract

Three heterotrinuclear complexes [Cu2Zn(HL)][CIO4]3·3H2O 1, [Cu2Mg(HL)][CIO4]3·2H2O 2 and [Cu2Mg(HL)][NO3]3·3H2O 3 and two tetranuclear complexes [Cu4L][CIO4]4·4H2O 4 and [Cu4L(µ3-OH)][CIO4]3·MeOH 5 have been synthesized from a 38-membered macrocycle (H4L) having eight amine and four phenol functionalities. The compounds have been characterized on the basis of IR, UV/VIS and ESR spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Their redox chemistry has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The crystal structure of 1 has been determined. The two copper centers have N2O2 square-planar co-ordination environments and the zinc has a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with N3O2 donors; one of the copper(II) ions is bridged to the zinc(II) ion by two phenolate oxygens. The cation in 1 has a helically twisted configuration.
