Abstract
VisibleabsorptionandESRspectraandredoxpotentialshavebeenexaminedforaseriesofpyrrole-2-carboxaldehydeSchiff base copper(II) complexes, whose coordination stereochemistry is distorted to varying extents from square-planar to pseudotetrahedral geometry. There are smooth correlations among d-d band energies, A||,g||, A0, and g0 values. As the dihedral angle between chelate rings increases from 0 through 90°, g|| increases, |Ag|| decreases in an antiparallel fashion, and redox potentials shift systematically to more positive values. These observations are consistent with tetrahedral distortion at the metal binding sites of blue copper proteins.
