The formation of a hydrogencarbonato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex by fixation and activation of atmospheric CO2

摘要

The first hydrogencarbonato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex [Cu-2(L)(HCO3)](BF4)(2). 5H(2)O, 1 was obtained by allowing of acetone solution containing a copper(II) complex [Cu-2(L)(OH)](BF4)(2). 6H(2)O, where HL is N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-[(1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)methyl]-2-hydroxy-1,3-diami nopropane. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by X-ray crystallography and characterized by the magnetic susceptibility and infrared and visible absorption spectrum. [References: 17]
