Abstract
A new dinucleating ligand, 1,4-di(1,4,7-triazonan-1-yl)butan-2-ol (L-OH), was synthesized, and a dinuclear Cu(II) complex was prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallized in a monoclinic system, and was characterized thus: P21, a = 9.808(9), b = 14.308(13), c = 10.951(10)Å, β = 103.075(15)°, Z = 2, V = 1497(2)Å3. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares on F2 to final values of R1 = 0.0823 and wR2 = 0.2051.
