Abstract
The known redox potentials of selected Cu
2+/Cu
+ couples complexed with N-, S- and O-donor ligands are empirically correlated with various characteristics of the ligands. Closed (macrocyclic) ligand topology has little significant effect on the
E
1/2 values, but certain branched (tripodal) ligands show a marked influence on the complexes’ redox potentials, generally raising
E
1/2 by a few hundred millivolts. Comparison of the empirically computed
E
1/2 for the [Cu- (1,4,7-trithiacyclononane)]
2+/+ couple with an observed value (+0.465 V versus SCE) suggests that the effect of tripod ligands on
E
1/2 is related to the three- fold pseudosymmetry of the donor atoms’ dispositions.
