Fa. Chavez et al., SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE, AND PROPERTIES OF YRIDYL)ETHYL]PYRIDINE-2,6-DICARBOXAMIDO)COPPER(II), Inorganic chemistry, 35(5), 1996, pp. 1410
The Cu(II) complex of is(2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl)-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamid
e, a designed ligand with two amide moieties, has been isolated and st
ructurally characterized. The copper center in this distorted square-p
yramidal complex is coordinated to two deprotonated amido N donors and
is situated 0.41 Angstrom above the mean basal plane. Such distortion
results in a low A parallel to value of 154 G.
