An investigation of two copper(ii) complexes with a triazole derivative as a ligand: magnetic and catalytic properties.

ABSTRACT: Two new copper(ii) complexes [Cu₂(L)₂(OAc)₂(H₂O)₂] (1) (L = 3-methyl-5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazole) and [CuL₂] (2) were prerared and thoroughly studied. The complexes are able to selectively catalyze the oxidation of styrene towards benzaldehyde and of cyclohexane to KA oil. The 2D coordination polymer 1 showed an antiferromagnetic behaviour attributed to the intrachain magnetic coupling.
