Transformation of (μ-η2: η2-peroxo) dicopper (II) complexes bearing sterically bulky tridentate N, N′, N′′-trisubstituted tacn2 to square pyramidal bis (μ-oxo) dicopper (III) complexes has been reported by Tolman et al. 3 In certain instances, they have observed a monooxygenase activity of the bis (μ-oxo) dicopper (III) complexes for the coordinated ligand as substrate. A different type of square planar bis (μ-oxo) dicopper (III) complexes having peralkylated-1, 2-cyclohexanediamine ligands have been also prepared by Stack et al. 4 Very recently, partial formation of a bis (μ-oxo)-dicopper (III) complex with a tridentate ligand containing two pyridyl sidearms5 and a bis (μ-oxo) dicopper (III) complex with a bidentate ligand containing a pyridyl group have been reported. 6 However, there is no crystallographically characterized bis (μ-oxo)-dicopper (III) complex having aromatic nitrogen donors. Thus, it is important to explore how the nature of the donor atoms and the stereochemistry of supporting ligands influence the formation, structure, and reactivity of bis (μ-oxo) dicopper (III) complexes. Karlin et al. have demonstrated that a copper (I) complex having a tetradentate tripodal tpa ligand,[Cu (tpa)(NCCH3)]+, reacts with O2 to form a trans-(μ-1, 2-peroxo) dicopper (II) complex ([Cu2 (O2)-(tpa) 2] 2+) in a trigonal bipyramidal structure (λmax (ϵ, M-1 cm-1))∼ 440 nm (4000), 525 nm (11500), and∼ 590 nm (7600)). 7 Previously we found that [Cu (Me-tpa)]+ in acetone at-70 C generates a trans-(μ-1, 2-peroxo) dicopper (II) species, whereas the reaction of [Cu (Me2-tpa)]+(1a) with O2 (Cu: O2) 2: 1) in acetone at-70 C does not form a trans-(μ-1, 2-peroxo) dicopper (II) species, but produces a brown species (1b, λmax (ϵ, M-1 cm-1))378 nm (∼ 22 000, 0.1 mM), 494 nm (330, 10 mM)). 8 Thus, introduction of two 6-methylpyridyl groups into the tpa ligand prevents the formation of trans-(μ-1, 2-peroxo) dicopper (II) species in a trigonal bipyramidal structure, probably due to a steric requirement of two 6-methylpyridyl groups. However, it is difficult to presume the structure of 1b from its electronic spectrum, since the spectral feature of 1b is somewhat different from those of (μ-η2: η2-peroxo) dicopper (II) 9 and bis (μ-oxo) dicopper-(III) complexes. 3, 4 Herein, we report a crystal structure of a brown bis (μ-oxo) dicopper (III) complex,[Cu2 (O) 2 (Me2-tpa) 2](PF6) 2 ‚2 (CH3) 2CO (1b) and reversible conversion between 1a and 1b. Complex 1a has a trigonal pyramidal structure with three pyridyl groups in the trigonal plane and tertiary amine in the apex. 10 Reaction of 1a with O2 in acetone/MeOH (10: 1) at-78 C gave a brown solution, from which brown crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography were obtained. 11 Figure 1 shows a crystal structure of the complex cation of 1b which consists of a centrosymmetric Cu2 (μ-O) 2 core with the Me2-tpa nitrogens. Each copper ion has a square planar structure composed of a N2O2 donor set with two 6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl sidearms which interact weakly with each copper ion in the axial positions (2.48 (1) and 2.55 (1) Å). The average Cu-O (1.803 Å) and Cu ‚‚‚Cu*(2.758 (4) Å) distances are substantially shorter than those of bis-(μ-hydroxo) dicopper (II) complex,[Cu2 (OH) 2 (Me2-tpa) 2](ClO4) 2 (1c) 10 (1.942 Å and 2.9368 (9) Å, respectively), and are comparable to those of bis (μ-oxo) dicopper (III) complexes,[Cu2 (O) 2 (Bn3-tacn) 2] 2+(3; 1.806 and 2.794 Å) 3a, c and [Cu2 (O) 2 (LME) 2] 2+(4; 1.806 and 2.743 Å). 4 The resonance Raman spectrum of 1b measured in acetone (∼ 10 mM) at-80 C with 488.0 nm laser excitation showed an isotope-sensitive band at 590 cm-1 with 16O2 (564 cm-1 with 18O2) shown in Figure 2 (inset …
