Abstract
Biomimetic properties of copper, nickel, and cobalt coordination compounds have been studied extensively as these metals are found in the active sites of numerous proteins. Coordinating ligands with nitrogen donor atoms are especially of interest because nitrogen is also extremely common at these active sites. By changing the structure of the ligand, the complexes can be modified to mimic a wide array of enzymes. Studying these complexes has led researchers to propose mechanisms for many enzymes. In this work, tridentate ligands with nitrogen donor atoms were complexed with Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II) to form tetracoordinate and pentacoordinate systems. Syntheses and characterizations will be presented including X-ray crystallographic data, electron spin resonance, and electronic absorption data. [phi]t, [omega], and [tau] parameters will be given to describe the distorted geometries of the metal-ligand complexes.
