Abstract
The complex of Cu2+ with cyclops, an N4 macrocycle of -1 charge, has been investigated and square-pyramidal adducts of formula [Cu(cyclops)X] and [Cu(cyclops)L]C104 have been isolated, where X represents a series of anionic Lewis bases and L represents a series of neutral Lewis bases. These adducts are notable for their strong axial interaction. The redox behavior of Cu(cyclops)"1" and its adducts was studied by cyclic voltammetry, and equilibrium constants have been determined for the 1:1 interactions of both oxidized and reduced Cu(cyclops)"1" with pyridine, y-picoline, methyl phenyl sulfide, and benzyl isocyanide. The relationship of the chemistry of Cu(cyclops)+/0 to copper biochemistry is discussed.
