Abstract

The redox behavior was evaluated for several (BIPY)Cu(I) complexes (BIPY = 2,2'bipyridyl) with unsatur ated ligands by means of cyclic voltammetry in CH₂Cl₂ at reduced temperatures (- 78°-;23° 0°C). The complexes studied are [Cu(I)(BIPY)(C₂H₂)]PF₆, [Cu(I)(BIPY)(3-hexyne)]PF₆, [Cu(I)(BIPY)(DEAD)]PF₆, {[CU(I)(BIPY)]₂DEAD}[PF₆]₂ (DEAD = diethyl acetylene dicarboxylate) and [Cu(I)(BIPY)(CH₃CN)]PF₆. The oxidations are quasi-reversible at - 78°C for scan rates of 20 to 200mV/sec. The reductions were irreversible on the CV time scale. Evidence is presented in support of a role for an electron transfer mechanism in the case of the plant hormone ethylene. Related literature data are also discussed.
