Abstract
Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde semicarbazone ligand (HL) reacts with copper(II) sulphate in water solution to yield the coordination polymer [{Cu(II)(HL)(H(2)O)(SO(4))}(n)] (1). The crystals are triclinic with space group P(-1) and the metal ion is occupying a distorted octahedral geometry. EPR results show that a dynamic Jahn-Teller (J-T) effect is operative in water solutions and also support the stability of the polymeric chains as they continue to show a characteristic half-field Δm(S)=±2 transitions. UV-visible spectrum analysis allowed access to the J-T stabilization energy of 5995 cm(-1) in water. Thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis curves showed a step-by-step decomposition of complex 1 with loss of water, release of SO(3) and oxidation of the semicarbazone ligand in the 30-422°C range.
