title: Charge-transfer photochemistry of the ternary complex (dithio-diseleno-carbamato)copper(II).
abstract: Photolysis of the ternary system consisting of diethyldithiocarbamate (Et2dtc), diethyldiselenocarbamate (Et2dsc) and copper(II) (1:1:1) has been studied in isobutylmethylketone (IBMK), toluene, chloromethane and chloromethane/ROH solutions (chloromethane = CCl4, CHCl3 or CH2Cl2 and ROH = EtOH or i-PrOH). The results obtained by EPR techniques and UV-Vis data indicate that a homolytic Cu-S bond cleavage involving the dithiocarbamate (dtc) ligand appears as the primary photo-process in Cu(Et2dtc)(Et2dsc) photolysis. Further conversion of the primary photoproduct Cu(I)(Et2dsc) is discussed in terms of a specific interaction with the solvent. In chloromethanes and chloromethane/ROH Cu(I)(Et2dsc) is oxidised by the solvent to give the corresponding paramagnetic mixed-ligand Cu(II)(Et2dsc)Cl complex and/or its chloride-bridged and EPR silent dimer Cu2(Et2dsc)2Cl2. The formation of the monomeric species occurs through a co-ordination of the alcohol molecule in the xy plane of the complex. Because of its co-ordination inertness, toluene poorly stabilises the primary photoproduct Cu(I)(Et2dsc), thus providing an effective primary recombination process and lower efficiency of Cu(Et2dtc)(Et2dsc) photolysis. The formation of the bis-solvated mixed-ligand complex Cu(II)(Et2dsc)+ in IBMK is also discussed.
