Abstract: | Two new mu-methoxo-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes with a N-substituted sulfonamide, [Cu(mu-OMe)(L)(NH(3))](2) (1) and [Cu(mu-OMe)(L)(DMSO)](2) (2) [HL, N-2-(4-methylbenzothiazole)benzenesulfonamide], have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray difraction analyses. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C(2)/c with a=22.0678(18), b=7.9134(7), c=21.1186(18)A, beta=113.788(4) degrees and Z=8. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C(2)/c with a=18.0900(10), b=9.5720(10), c=24.2620(10) A, beta=98.7120(10) degrees and Z=8. In both complexes the copper atoms have square-planar environments bridged by two oxygen atoms from methoxide groups. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a very strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the copper(II) ions in both complexes (2J<-1000 cm(-1)). Electronic Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectra of the two complexes both in solid and in solution are silent. 13C NMR spectra of the complexes in solid state have been studied. The complexes have been evaluated as model systems for the catechol oxidase enzyme using 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol as the test substrate. Complex 2 is slightly more active than complex 1. |
