Abstract EN
The synthesis and characterization of a novel ligand, bis[(2-ethyl-5-methyl-imidazo-4-yl)methyl]sulfide (bemims), as well as a bemims-containing copper(II) coordination complex are described.
In this complex, [Cu(bemims)X2] with X=NO3-, bemims acts as a tridentate ligand and two monodentate nitrate ions complete the coordination sphere.
Both imidazole N atoms and the thioether S atom of bemims participate in coordination.
The Cu(II) ion is five-coordinated with a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry (τ=.09).
Electrochemical studies and spectroscopic data for this complex are compared with some blue copper proteins in order to assess its ability to mimic the copper center of type I copper proteins.
