title: Thermal, vibrational and EPR studies of Cu(II) bromide bis(p-methylaniline) and bis(m-methylaniline) complexes.
abstract: [CuBr(2)(pMA)(2)] and [CuBr(2)(mMA)(2)] complexes (pMA: p-methylaniline, mMA: m-methylaniline) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analyses, magnetic moment measurements, and IR, Raman and EPR spectroscopic studies. Coordination effects on the vibrational spectra of the ligands have been investigated. The room temperature EPR spectra of the complexes and their simulated spectra are also discussed in detail. The vibrational and EPR spectral studies suggest that the coordination sphere around Cu(II) consist of a distorted tetragonal structure.
