0Introduction

Schiff base compounds have been playing an important part in the development of coordination chemistry because of their potential application in catalysis[1-2],bioscience[3-4],new materials[5],magnetic properties[6-9]and constructing supramolecular structu

res[10-11].Also,the Schiff base ligands are strong donors and therefore the oxime-containing ligands were found to efficiently stabilize high oxidation states of metal ions like Cuand Ni.The presence of additional donor groups together with the oxime group in the ligand molecule may result in significant increase of chelating efficiency and ability to form polynuclear complexes.Herein,two new Cucomplexes with the Schiffbaseligand,[Cu(L1)2](1)(HL1=1-(3-((2- hydroxybenzylidene)amino)phenyl)ethanone O-benzyl oxime)and[Cu(L2)2](2)(HL2=1-(3-((2-Hydroxy naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino)-phenyl)-ethanone

oxime)have been synthesized and characterized by elementalanalyses,IRspectra,UV-Visspectra, fluorescence measurement and X-ray single crystal diffraction.X-ray crystallographic analyses reveal that the structures of the complexes 1 and 2 are very similar.They are both mononuclear structures and all the Cuions are four-coordinated.

2　Results and discussion

2.1IR spectra analyses

TheFTIRspectraofHL1,HL2andtheir corresponding Cucomplexes 1 and 2 exhibit various bands in the 400～4 000 cm-1region.The most important FTIR bands for HL1,HL2and complex 1～2 are given in Table 2.The free ligand HL1and HL2exhibit characteristic C=N stretching bands at 1 617and 1 620 cm-1,while that of complex 1 and complex 2 were observed in the 1 600 cm-1and 1 602 cm-1, respectively.The C=N stretching frequencies are all shifted to lower frequencies by ca.17 and 18 cm-1upon complexation respectively,indicating a decrease in the C=N bond order due to the coordinated bond of the Cuatom with the imino nitrogen lone pair[16].In the 1 445～1 564 cm-1region,the observed bands were attributedtoaromaticC=Cvibrations.Upon coordination these bands shift to lower frequencies for the Cucomplexes[17].The Ar-O stretching frequency appears as a strong band within the 1 178～1 144 cm-1as reported for similar ligands[18].This band occurs at 1 178 cm-1for the ligand HL1,and at 1 144 cm-1for complex 1,the band occurs at 1 182 cm-1for the ligand HL2,and at 1 137 cm-1for complex 2.The Ar-O stretching frequency is shifted to a lower frequency, indicating that the Cu-O bond was formed between the Cuion and phenolic oxygen atom of phenolic hydroxylgroup[13].Thefar-infraredspectraof complexes 1 and 2 was also obtained in the region 500～100 cm-1in order to identify frequencies due to the Cu-O and Cu-N bonds.The FTIR spectrum of complex 1 showed ν(Cu-N)and ν(Cu-O)vibration absorption frequencies at 540 cm-1and 503 cm-1(or 519 and 463 cm-1for complex 2),respectively.These assignmentsareconsistentwiththeliterature frequency values[19].

2.2UV-Vis absorption spectra analyses

The absorption spectra of ligand HL1and its corresponding Cucomplex 1 were determined in diluted CH2Cl2solution,and ligand HL2and its corresponding Cucomplex 2 were determined in diluted DMF solution as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.2.

UV-Vis spectrum of the free ligand HL1exhibits three absorption peaks at ca.224,262 and 347 nm (Fig.1).The absorption peak of HL1at 224 nm assigned to the π-π*transition of the benzene rings shifts to low energy region by ca.7 nm in complex 1, indicating Cuion coordinated with the O and N atoms of ligand units.The absorption peak of HL1at 262 nm attributed to the intra-ligand π-π*transition of the C=N bonds is shifted to 269 nm in complex 1 upon complexation.The absorption peak of HL1at 347 nm is absent in complex 1,however,a new absorption peak is observed at 388 nm assigned to an L→M charge-transfer transition which is characteristic of a transitionmetalcomplexwithN2O2coordination sphere[20].It can be seen that the absorption peaks of complex 2 are obviously different from those of the HL1uponcomplexation(Fig.2).Comparedwith complex 2,an important feature of the absorption spectrum of HL2is shown that three absorption peaks are observed at 243,382 and 437 nm,which are absent in the spectrum of complex 2.The other feature is that the absorption peak at 267 and 320 nm in HL2is shifted to 269 and 311 nm in complex 2, respectively,indicating that the coordination of Cuatom with HL2.

2.3Fluorescence spectra

The emission spectrum of the complex 1 in diluted CH2Cl2solution at room temperature is shown in Fig.3.An intense excitation peak is observed at 311 nm.The bluish violet emission for complex 1 can be observed,where the maximum emission wavelength wasat430nm.TheStokesshiftbetweenthe maximum wavelength of the fluorescence emission and the fluorescence excitation is 119 nm.This red-shift might be related to the coordination of the Cuatom to the ligand and increase of the rigidity of the ligands,which can diminish the loss of energy via vibrationalmotionsandincreasetheemission efficiency.

2.4StructuralDescriptionofthecomplexes1and2

The single crystal structures of complexes 1 and 2 were confirmed by X-ray crystallography(Fig.4 and 5). The selected bond lengths and angles of complexes 1 and 2 are listed in Table 3.The complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system and P1 space group,whereas the complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic system and C2/c space group.Both of the complexes can be described as centrosymmetric mononuclear Cucomplexes.TheCuion lying on the inversion centre, is four-coordinated in a trans-CuN2O2square-planar geometry,with two phenolic O and two imino N atoms from two N,O-bidentate oxime-type ligands(HL1and HL2).

Table 5　Hydrogen-bonding for complex 2

As shown in Fig.6,complex 1 is stabilized by the πcentroid(C10-C15)-πcentroid(C10-C15)stackinginteractions of benzene rings linking the neighboring molecules into a 1D infinite chain parallel to the a axis(Table 4).In addition,this adjacent chains along a axis are furtherheld together by the other intermolecular πcentroid(C17-C22)-πcentroid(C17-C22)stackinginteractions(Fig.7)to form 2D supramolecular structure parallel to the ac planes (Fig.8).Whereas in complex 2,as illustrated in Fig.9, each oxime nitrogen atom N2 of the two ligand molecules is hydrogen-bonded to the-O2H2A group of the oxime group from the other neighboring molecule, which resulted in the formation of a classical sixmember ring and a 1D infinite chain synchronously. Furthermore,this linkage is further stabilized by four C17-H17…π(Cg3)interactions to form the 2D infinite supramolecular planar(Fig.10 and Table 5).

2.5Substituent effects

The overall structures of the two complexes are found to be identical except that the oxime portion and aromatic ring differs in the ligands.The bond lengths of complex 1 are different from those of complex 2 due to the different substituent group inthe bidentate ligands.In both bases,twoimino nitrogen and two phenolic oxygen atoms form the square base with the Cu-N bonds being slightly longer than the corresponding Cu-O bonds.The elongation of the Cu-N bonds probably due to the weaker coordination ability of the nitrogen atom than that of phenolic oxygen atom.Similar elongation has been observed in Cucomplexes with Schiff base ligands[21-22].However, the coordination bond Cu-N(0.200 0 nm)of complex 1 is shorter than the Cu-N(0.201 4 nm)of complex 2, but Cu-O(0.188 8 nm)of complex 1 is almost equal to the Cu-O(0.188 5 nm)of complex 2.Meanwhile, the angle of N2-Cu1-O2(88.35°)in complex 1 is smaller with the angle ofN1-Cu1-O1(89.61°)in complex 2.In addition,the supramolecular structures of the two complexes 1 and 2 are also similar twodimensionalsupramolecularstructurelinkingby different intermolecular interaction,in which complex 1 is stabilized by two π…π interaction,while that of complex 2 by intermolecular O-H…N and C-H…π hydrogen bond interactions.The substituent effects also give rise to the variations in IR and UV-Vis spectra in complexes 1 and 2.

3　Conclusions

According to the data and discussion above,two Schiff base mononuclear Cucomplexes 1 and 2 have been synthesized and characterized structurally.The Cucomplexes are tetra-coordinated by two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms of two deprotonated L-units definingtheN2O2basalplane.Thecoordination environment around Cuatom is best regarded as the square-planar geometry.Complexes 1 and 2 also formed a 2D-layer supramolecular structure by different intermolecular interaction,π…π interaction and O-H…N,C-H…π hydrogen bond interactions,respectively. Consequently,theintermolecularnon-classical hydrogen-bonding plays a very important role in the construction ofsupramolecularnetworksstructure. Furthermore,the substituted groups on the ligands could play a small impact on the coordination geometries and supramolecularstructureof complexes 1and2.

Two new Cucomplexes[Cu(L1)2](1)(HL1=1-(3-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)phenyl)ethanone O-benzyl oxime)and[Cu(L2)2](2)(HL2=1-(3-((2-Hydroxy-naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino)-phenyl)-ethanone oxime) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses,IR spectra,UV-Vis spectra,fluorescence measurement and X-ray single crystal diffraction method.X-ray crystallographic analyses have indicated that complexes 1 and 2 have the similar structure,consisting of one Cuion,two ligandunits.In the complexes,the Cuion lying on an inversion centre,is four-coordinated in a trans-CuN2O2square-planar geometry by two hydroxy O and two imine N atoms from two symmetry-related N,O-bidentate Schiff base ligands.The supramolecular structures of the two complexes 1 and 2 are also similar two-dimensional supramolecular structure linking by different intermolecular interaction.Complex 1 forms an infinite two-dimensional supramolecular structure by two π…π interaction,while that of complex 2 by intermolecular O-H…N and C-H…π hydrogen bond interactions.The fluorescence property of complex 1 and substituent effects of the two complexes are discussed.CCDC:1003363,1; 1043506,2.
