Masters Theses
Several copper (II) complexes with bidentate quinuclidinone containing ligands have been synthesized and characterized. These complexes appear to be possible models for the type I copper (II) in the copper "blue" proteins. The spectral and magnetic properties indicate that the complexes have a pseudo tetrahedral microsymrnetry about the central metal ion. The complexes contain chromophores of the following forms: CuN4, CuN2O2, and CuN2x2, where X is either Cl or Br. While the spectra of these complexes lack the intense 17,000 cm-1 band typical of copper "blue" proteins, the optical …
