Abstract
In the presence of copper(II) ion, two asymmetrical tripodal tetraamine ligands N{(CH2)3NH2} {(CH2)2NH2}2 (pee), N{(CH2)3NH2}2 {(CH2)2NH2} (ppe) and one symmetrical ligand, N{(CH2)3NH2}3 (tpt), were condensed with 2-acetylpyridine. In EtOH-H2O solutions the reaction stops after the first condensation stage, and complexes of acyclic pentadentate(N5) mono-Schiff-base ligands were obtained. With asymmetrical tetraamines there are two possible condensation sites: the primary amine of the propylene, or the ethylene chain. The X-ray structure analysis of one complex, [Cu(ppe-py)](ClO4)2, indicates that condensation with 2-acetylpyridine in this case occurs at the propylene chain and the geometry around the copper ion is trigonal-bipyramidal.
