Abstract

Ligands with Schiff bases are obtained in the condensation of propylenediamine (pda) or 2,2–dimethylpropylenediamine (dmpda) with acetylacetone (Hacac) in the 1:2 molar ratio. The ligands are characterized by the elemental analysis methods, Tmelt = 90–92 °C for pda(Hacac)2 (pda(acac)2 is N,N'-propylene-bis(acetylacetoniminato) (2–)), Tmelt = 84–86 °C for dmpda(Hacac)2 (dmpda(acac)2 is N,N'–2,2–dimethylpropylene-bis(acetylacetoniminato) (2–)). The tautomerism of the ligands is established by the single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, IR spectroscopy, and 1H, 13C NMR spectrometry. The synthesized complexes [Cu(pda(acac) 2)] (1), Tmelt = 121–122 °C and [Cu(dmpda(acac)2)] (2), T melt = 156–158 °C are studied by the XRD method. In both complexes, copper atoms have a planar square geometry, and the chelate bond lengths and angles are: Cu–O ≈ Cu–N 1.903(2)–1.942(3) Å, ∠ O–Cu-N = 94.44(12)–94.99(12)° for 1 and Cu–O ≈ Cu-N 1.909(1)–1.943(2) Å, ∠ O–Cu–N = 94.63(6)° for 2. By the thermogravimetric method it is found that both complexes can be passed practically quantitatively into the gas phase.
