Copper complexes of a novel non-innocent quadridentate ligand.
Quadridentate ligand H(2)L binds Cu(I) to form salt [Cu(I)(H(2)L)]BF(4) which undergoes aerial oxidation in solution with isolation of the diamagnetic salt [Cu(II)L˙(-)]BF(4) where π-radical anion L˙(-) is the (1e(-), 2H(+)) oxidation product of H(2)L.
