A polarographic study of the pyridine-copper-chloride complexes in methanol and determination of the stability constants.
Copper(I) chloride has been shown to form two complexes with pyridine in anhydrous methanol, CuCiPy and CuClPy(2). Formation constants have been determined and found to be log K(1) = 7.8 +/- 0.3 and log K(2) = 9.45 +/- 0.3. The role of the complexes in the catalytic oxidation of xylenol is discussed.
