[(DPEPhos)(bcp)Cu]PF6: A General and Broadly Applicable Copper-Based Photoredox Catalyst
Published on: May 21, 2019
Bis(1H-benzimidazole-κN)bis-(4-methyl-benzoato-κO,O')copper(II)
Abstract:
In the title mononuclear complex, [Cu(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(7)H(6)N(2))(2)], the Cu(II) atom lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two O atoms of two monodentate 4-methyl-benzoate ligands and two N atoms of two benzimidazole ligands in a square-planar geometry. The mol-ecules are linked into chains running parallel to the b axis by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and by π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.669 (2) Å] involving centrosymmetrically related imidazole rings.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
