Synthesis, characterization and dioxygen reactivity of copper(I) complexes with glycoligands.
A new family of copper(I) complexes with "glycoligands" containing a central saccharide scaffold, with 2-picolyl ether groups or 2-picolylamine or N-imidazolylamine groups, has been prepared and characterized. For this purpose, the following tetradentate ligands have been synthesized: methyl 2,3-di-O-(2-picolyl)-alpha-D-lyxofuranoside (L1), 1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-3,4-di-O-(2-picolyl)-d-galactitol (L2), 5-(amino-N-(2-salicyl))-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(2-picolyl)-alpha-D-xylofuranose (L3), and 5-(amino-N-(2-salicyl))-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(methylimidazol-2-yl)-alpha-D-xylofuranose (L4). The ligands and the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies, ESI mass spectrometry, and cyclic voltammetry. Collaterally with the experimental work, HF-DFT(B3LYP/6-31G*) computations were performed to obtain additional structural information. The Cu(I) complexes are found to be pentacoordinated. The redox properties and the O2-reactivity of the Cu(I)Ln complexes have been studied. Reactions of Cu(I) complexes with dioxygen in ethanol yield stable Cu(II) complexes as confirmed by UV-visible spectrophotometry and EPR spectroscopy.
