P. Drozdzewski et al., Synthesis, crystal structure, spectroscopic data and magnetic properties of the bis(imidazole-4-acetato)copper(II) complex, POL J CHEM, 75(11), 2001, pp. 1711-1718
A novel complex of copper(III) and imidazole-4-acetic acid has been crystal
lized and investigated by X-ray diffraction, magnetic and spectroscopic (IR
, Raman, UV-Vis) methods. The complex of formula [Cu(ia)(2)] has crystallog
raphic Pbca symmetry. The copper(II) ion is situated in the symmetry centre
and chelated by two ligand molecules via the oxygen and one of the imidazo
le ring nitrogen atoms. The compound shows a magnetic moment of 2.03 BM.
