Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Properties of Complex Cu(α-Furacrylic acid)2(phen)

摘要

The title complex (C26H18CuN2O6, Mr=517.96) has been synthesized by the reaction of α-furanacrylic acid with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in the solvent mixture of water and methanol. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group C2/c with a=2.2927(4), b=1.01248(18), c=1.05061(18) nm, β=111.188(3)°, V=2.274(7) nm3, Dc=1.513 g/cm3, Z=4, F(000)=1060,μ=1.007mm-1, R=0.0320 and wR=0.0781. The crystal structural analysis shows that the copper atom is coordinated with four oxygen atoms from two α-furacrylic acids and two nitrogen atoms from 1,10-phenanthroline, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The result of electrochemical analysis shows that the electron transfer in the electrode reaction is quasi-reversible.
