    Abstract

    Di-2-pyridyl ketone (dpk) can complex metal ions in its activated [(NC5H4)2C(OR)(OH)] or nonactivated form. In its activated form it displays a dinucleating behavior as manifested by [{Cu2[(NC5H4)2C(OEt)O]Cl3(EtOH)}2] and [{Cu2[(NC5H4)2C(OMe)O]Cl3}∞] (which also possess halide bridges). These compds. were prepd. and structurally characterized using single-crystal x-ray diffraction. In its nonactivated form its acts as a simple bidentate chelate. The complex [{Cu(dpk)(NO3)2}∞] was prepd. and its x-ray anal. revealed an anion-bridged structure where bridging nitrato groups link the copper centers. The π-stacking arrangements of these compds. are also considered. [on SciFinder(R)]
