Copper（Ⅱ）complexes based on Carboxylic acids and N-donor ligands for mimicking the Cu-containing enzymes,such as Superoxide dismutase(SOD),peroxidase,catalase,hemocyanin,have attracted much attention[1-7].A general survey of the literature reveals that a considerable amount of work has been carried out on the preparation and characterization of complexes of Copper（Ⅱ）carboxylates with nitrogen donors.These complexes give three different stoichiometries,viz.,1∶1,1∶2,and 1∶4 (metal∶carboxylic acid)[8].Some adducts of Copper（Ⅱ）chlorobenzoate were prepared with propanodiamine[9-10],pyridine[11],and imdazole[8].In this paper,as a continuous study on the structure and properties of metal complexes with chlorobenzoic acids and N-donor ligands,we report the synthesis,crystal structure,electrochemical properties of[Cu(Cmba)2(Mim)2].

1 Experimental

1.1 Materials and instruments

All the chemical reagents for synthesizing the title compound were purchased commercially and used without further purification.Elemental analyses(C,H and N)were carried out on a Perkin-Elmer 1400C analyzer.Voltammetry was performed by using a CHI 832B electrochemical analysis system (China)with a three-electrode system consisting of a glass carbon(GC)electrode(U＝3 mm)as the working electrode,a saturated calomel electrode(SCE)as the reference electrode,and a platinum wire as the auxiliary electrode.All the electrochemical measurements were carried out in a 10 mL electrolyte cell with 0.01 mol·L-1pH 6.86 KH2PO4-Na2HPO4buffer solution as electrolyte.TG curve was recorded on a NETZSCH-TG209 GmbH thermoanalyser in flow of N2,in the temperature range from 20～900℃,with a heating rate of 5 ℃·min-1.

1.2 Preparation

CuCl2·6H2O(0.34 g,2 mmol),KOH(0.224 g,4 mmol),and Cmba (0.53 g,2 mmol)were added to ethanol(40 mL),and the mixture was stirred for half an hour.The resulting blue solution was added Mim(0.164,2 mmol),then refluxed for 3 h and filtered.The filtrate was allowed to stay at ambient temperature for a period of about 3 d,gave 0.32 g (31%yields)of blue block crystals suitable for structural determinations.Anal.Calcd.for C24H24Cl2CuN4O4(%):C 57.26,H 4.81,N 11.13;found(%):C 57.19,H 4.57,N 11.36.

1.3 Crystal structure determination

A block shaped crystal with dimensions of 0.20 mm ×0.10 mm ×0.10 mm was mounted on a Bruker SMART 1000 CCD area detector X-ray single crystal diffractometer with graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ＝0.071073 nm)and a φ-ω scanning mode at 293(2)K.Intensities was corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects and empirical absorption.

The structure was solved by direct methods via SHELXS 97 program[12]and refined by full-matrix least squares on F2via SHELXL 97 program[13].The benzene ring exhibits disorder and restraints were applied to the anisotropic displacement parameters(ISOR and DELU restrains)of atoms C1-C6 of the benzene ring.H atoms were positioned geometrically (C-H＝0.093 and 0.096 nm)and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H)＝1.2 times Ueq(C).Crystalographic data for the title complex are listed in Table 1.

2 Result and discussion

2.1 Explanations to the crystal structure

Fig.1 shows the structure of the title compound,showing 30%probability displacement ellipsoids and theatom-numberingscheme,andFig.2showsa perspective view of the crystal packing in the unit cell.Selected bond lengths and bond angles are presented in Table 2.Hydrogen-bonds are presented in Table 3.

The crystal structure of the title compound is built of monomeric[Cu(Cmba)2(Mim)2]molecules.The Cu atom in the complex is coordinated by two O atoms from two carboxylate anions and two N atoms from two Mim molecules in a square-planar geometry.The trans angles are all 180°for symmetry requirement and the cis ones are 90.80(16)°and 89.20(17)°for N-Cu-O,respectively.The d(Cu-O)is 0.198 5(4)nm,and d(Cu-N)is 0.1972(4)nm.These bond lengths are shorter than those of the structurally analogous complex[Cu(Cba)2(Im)3](Cba=chlorobenzoic acid,Im=imdazole,d(Cu-O)=0.211 3(2)nm and d(Cu-N)=0.199 4(3)and 0.201 9(3)nm)[8].O(1)and its symmetry-related atom are located above the coordinate square planar or below,respectively.The dihedral angle between the carboxylate plane C(8)O(1)O(2)and the phenyl ring plane is 58.8(1)°,and the corresponding one of the complex[Cu(Cba)2(Im)3]is 58.8(1)°.The dihedral angles between the planes of the carboxylate groupC(8)O(1)O(2)and the Mim ring and the CuO2N2 plane are 91.20(3)°and 13.91(3)°,respectively.The O-C-O angle in the carboxylate groups is 125.1(5)°,characteristic of chelating carboxylate groups.

Table 3 Hydrogen bonds of the complex

Some potentially weak(C-H…O and C-H…Cl)intramolecular and intermolecular interactions exist in the lattice[14-15].The C(2)atoms with O(1)atoms form weak intermolecular interactions (the donor and the acceptor distance is 0.344 4(10)nm),which link the complex units into a 2D layer structure(Fig.2 and Table 3).The C(9),C(11)atoms with O(2)and C(11)atoms with Cl atoms form weak C-H…O and C-H…Cl intramolercular interactions(the donor and the acceptor distances are 0.297 1(7),0.295 8(7),0.353 1(7)nm,respectively)(Table 3).These weak interactions further stabilize the crystal structure.

2.2 Thermal properties

Thermal analyses reveal that the title complex retain stability below 89.5 ℃.On further heating the compound underwent five weight loss processes in a temperature range of 89.5～900 ℃.The first weight loss of 29.12%around 89.5 ～162 ℃ via two unidentified steps corresponds to the loss of two N-methylimidazole molecules (calculated 28.93%).In the temperature range of162～900 ℃ weight loss of 59.47% was ascribed to the release of two 2-Chloro-6-methylbenzoic anion through three steps(calculated 58.39%),to give expected Cu(observed 11.42%,calculated 11.20%).

2.3 Electrochemistry

Cyclic voltammetry curve for the title complex in 0.01 mol·L-1pH 6.86 KH2PO4-Na2HPO4buffer solutions at different scan rates is shown in Fig.3.

The complex at 0.1 V·s-1has a anodic peak at-0.059 V and an cathodic peak at-0.170 V,corresponding to the electrochemical process of Cu2+/Cu+[16].The separation of the cathodic and anodic peak potential,ΔE＝0.111 V,indicates that the electrochemical behavior of the title complex on the glass carbon electrode is an quasi-reversible process.

Laviron′s approach was used to determine the energy transfer coefficient α and the rate constant k[17].The anodic(Epa)and the cathodic(Epc)peak potentials are expressed by this approach as follows:

where E?′(V)is the formal potential,F is Faraday constant(96 487 C·mol-1),R is universal gas constant(8.314 J·K-1·mol-1),and T is Kelvin temperature.So,plots of Epcand Epaversus lnν should have two straight lines with slopes scand saas-RT/(αnF)and RT/[(1-α)nF)],respectively(see data in Fig.4).Then α value can be calculated by the following relationships:

The redox potential,ΔEp,and ipa/ipcat different scan rates were shown in Table 4.The scand savalueswere attained by Fig.4.Finally,an energy transfer coefficient α value of 0.77 for this electrochemical process can be obtained by the equtation (3).When a scan rate is 0.05 V·s-1,and ΔEp=107 mV,k was estimated to be 115.1 s-1by the equation(4).
