Synthesis, characterization and electrical properties of copper(II) complexes of the type [Cu(TAABL)](NO3) center dot nH(2)O with L = NH(CH2)(2)NH2, NH(CH2)(4)NH2, NH(CH2)(12)NH2, and the complex [Cu(TAAB(C14H9N2O2)(2))] center dot 4H(2)O, J COORD CH, 54(3-4), 2001, pp. 441-453
The complexes [Cu(TAABNH(CH2)(2)NH2)](NO3). 2H(2)O, (1) [Cu(TAABNH(CH2)(4)N
H2)] (NO3). 4H(2)O, (2), [Cu(TAABNH(CH2)(12)NH2](NO3). 4H(2)O, (3) and [Cu(
TAAB(C14H10 N2O2)(2)]. 4H(2)O, (4) have been synthesized and characterized
by IR, mass spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analys
is and elemental analysis. Electrical conductivity and activation energy ev
aluation were obtained from study of the temperature dependence of the elec
trical current (in tablet and thin film). Refraction and reflectance indice
s, absorption coefficient and optical activation energy were established th
rough ellipsometry and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity val
ues at room temperature were within the range of semiconducting molecular s
olids (10(-6)-10(1)Omega (-1) cm(-1)).
