Abstract
Reactions of 2, 2-pyridil (pyCOCOpy) with CuCl2 · 2H2O and CuBr2
in EtOH yielded the mononuclear complex [Cu(pyCOOEt)2Cl2] · H2O (1) and the one-dimensional, mixed-valence complex [CuI2CuII(pyCOOEt)2Br4]n (2), respectively. Both complexes crystallize in the triclinic space group P 1. The lattice constants are a = 8.382(2), b = 9.778(2), c = 7.814(2),
α = 101.17(1), β = 114.55(1), γ = 94.14(1)◦ for 1 and a = 8.738(1), b = 9.375(2), c = 7.966(1), α = 79.09(1), β = 64.25(1), γ = 81.78(1)◦ for 2. 2,2-pyridil undergoes a metal-assisted alcoholysis and oxidation leading to decomposition and yielding the ethyl picolinate (pyCOOEt) ligand. The autoredox process associated with the reduction of copper(II) to copper(I) in the case of
complex 2 is discussed in terms of the increased redox activity of the copper(II) bromide system relative to the copper(II) chloride system.
