Copper(II) complexes with fluorinated 5-aryl-2,2’-bipyridine-6(6’)-carboxylic acid tridentate ligands
Abstract
Three Cu(II) complexes containing (poly)fluorine ligands based on 5-aryl-2,2’-bipyridine-6(6’)-carboxylic acids have been synthesized for the first time. These complexes belong to either triclinic (P-1) or orthorhombic (Iba2) crystal systems. The packing of molecules in Cu(II) complexes, confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) structural analysis, seems to be due to the effect of fluorine atoms involved in the formation of hydrogen bonds or intermolecular short contacts of type C–F…π, as well as the influence of the crystallization solvent molecules. The developed coordination compounds could be of interest in the design of pharmacologically active substances, chemosensors, and catalytic systems.
