Local structure analysis of Cu(II)-diazepam complexes by ESR spectroscopy

Abstract:
CuL(2)X(2) (L = 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, also known as diazepam, X = Cl, Br) complexes have been prepared and investigated by ESR spectroscopy. Powder ESR spectra of these complexes suggest a planar-rhombic distorted local symmetry. The CH(3)Cl solutions spectra show the presence of pseudo-tetrahedral species with a 3d(xy)+4p(z) mixture ground state for the paramagnetic electron. The anisotropic spectra obtained for the Cu(II)-diazepam solution adsorbed on NaY zeolite confirm the existence of a CuN(2)X(2) chromophore.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
