Substituent Effects on the Redox Properties of some Bis(N-Arylpyrrole-2-carboxaldiminato)-copper(II) Complexes†

Abstract

Cyclic voltammetry shows that the reduction of bis(N-para and meta substituted phenylpyrrole-2-carboxaldiminato)copper(II) complexes are considered quasireversible and irreversible in the case of ortho derivatives, the stereochemical effect being more important than the inductive effect.
