Conformational dynamicity in a copper(<scp>ii</scp>) coordination complex
Paul J. Griffin, Matthew J. Dake, Alesandro D. Remolina, Lisa Olshansky
Abstract
X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, and EPR spectroscopy, where temperature-dependent interconversion between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal geometries is observed. Coupling these solid and solution-state characterization data enabled assignment of the coordination geometries involved. Factors impacting these dynamics and their potential implications for electron transfer are discussed.
