Molecular structure of the binuclear copper(II) chelate complex, aquocopper(II)-µ-(triethylenetetra-aminehexa-acetato)-aquocopper(II) heptahydrate: X-ray crystallography versus electron spin resonance
Abstract
An X-Ray crystal structure analysis of a binuclear metal chelate complex of the ligand triethyl-enetetra-aminehexa-acetic acid (ttha) shows the title compound to be in its fully open or extended molecular form, in apparent disagreement with earlier e.s.r. results.
