Structure of the first polymeric catena-µ-tris[oxalato(2–)-O1,O2;O3,O4]-dicopper complex with interlocked helical chains
Abstract
Oxidation of a mixture of copper(II), vitamin C and 2-diethylaminoethanol in the presence of H2O2 yielded a polymeric catena-µ-tris(oxalato)-copper(II) compound with the CuII ion surrounded by six oxygen atoms of three oxalate ions, each one starting a helical chain.
