E. Maimon et al., Comproportionation and redox catalyzed isomerization of Cu(II)(1R,4S,8R,11S-1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraaza-cyclotetradecane)(2+) in aqueous solutions, INORG CHIM, 324(1-2), 2001, pp. 65-72
The complex Cu(II)(1R,4S,8R,11S-tmc)(2+) comproportionates and isomerizes i
n the presence of excess of ligand and Cu degrees in alkaline aqueous solut
ions to yield Cu(II)(1R,4R,8S,1S-tmc)(2+). The visible and EPR spectra of t
he two complexes as well as their electrochemical properties are reported.
The complexes Cu(II)(1R,4R,8S,11S-tmc)(ClO4)(2) and [Cu(II)(1R,4S,8R,11S-tm
c)](2)N-3(ClO4)(3) were isolated and crystallographically characterized. (C
