A. Maslejova et al., PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES AND STRUCTURES OF PSEUDOHALOGENOCOPPER(II) COMPLEXES WITH PHENANTHROLINE, Journal of coordination chemistry, 43(1), 1998, pp. 41-51
Electronic, IR and EPR spectra of eight Cu(II) complexes with trigonal
-bipyramidal, tetragonal-bipyramidal and tetragonal-pyramidal coordina
tion polyhedra containing phenanthroline and pseudohalogenide ligands
were examined and their interrelationships with molecular and crystal
structures evaluated. Along with the usual trigonal-bipyramidal enviro
nment of Cu(II), tetragonal symmetry for four complexes was observed.
The origin of this tetragonal symmetry is connected with intermolecula
r interaction of phenanthroline with pseudohalide ligands.
