Synthesis and X-ray structure of a bicopper(II) Schiff base macrocyclic complex having a single endogenous alkoxy bridge
Abstract
A bicopper(II) Schiff base macrocycle having an internal alkoxy bridge and strong antiferromagnetic coupling has been synthesised and its structure determined; the complex has similar co-ordination geometry and properties to those reported for oxy- and met-haemocyanin.
