Spontaneous ligand nitrosation and self-assembly into a pentacopper metallacrown complex

Abstract

Upon mixing acetylacetonedioxime and copper(II) nitrate in water, the acetylacetonedioxime is spontaneously nitrosated at the central α-carbon and four of the nitrosated ligand molecules and five Cu ions self-assemble into a pentanuclear metallacrown complex, whose structure has been revealed by single crystal X-ray analysis and magnetic interactions between the Cu ions in the complex have been probed. The lability of the core Cu ion in the complex is suggested.
