Electron spin resonance and magnetic studies on some copper(II) azobarbituric and azothiobarbituric acid complexes.
Electron spin resonance and magnetic susceptibility on some copper(II) complexes prepared from phenylazobarbituric and phenylazothiobarbituric acid compounds containing 2,5-dichloro and 2,5-dimethyl groups were discussed. The thio complexes exist in dimer-monomer mixture. The corresponding copper(II) complexes of the oxygen homologous failed to exhibit association. Singlet-triplet separation values equal to -321 and -263 cm(-1) for the 2,5-dimethyl and 2,5-dichloro complexes, respectively, of the thio series. An empirical measure of the amount of tetrahedral deformation based on the values of g||/A|| assigned the square-planar geometry of the dimethyl-oxygen complex while the other complexes are with tetrahedral planar geometries. The effect of temperature on the ESR data was discussed. The diamagnetic properties of the complexes derived from 2,5-dichloro and 2,5-dimethyl thiobarbituric acid suggested the formation of Cu(I) complexes.
