Presented here is an investigation on the geometric (molecular) structures, spectroscopic properties and electronic structures of copper(II)-nitrite complexes as a function of steric effects, utilizing a set of closely related co-ligands. The prepared complexes, with the general formula [CuL R (η 2 -ONO) 2 ] where L R is N , N -dialkyl, N ′-benzyl-ethylenediamine and R is methyl, ethyl or isopropyl moieties, were structurally characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. An X-ray diffraction study on CuL Me (η 2 -ONO) 2 ] and CuL Et (η 2 -ONO) 2 ] reveals that the copper(II) center in both compounds is located in a distorted octahedral environment through coordination of two amine nitrogen atoms and four oxygen atoms of the nitrite ligands. Depending on the steric crowding of the co-ligand, the coordination mode is either symmetric or asymmetric bidentate, as is evident from X-ray crystallography and IR spectroscopy. The relative stability of linkage isomers of these compounds, along with a tert -butyl derivative complex, was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The calculated results demonstrated that in all cases the bidentate η 2 -ONO isomer is more stable than the four-coordinated nitro isomer (η 1 -NO 2 ). However, the differences in the relative stability decrease as the steric hindrance in the co-ligand increases. The vibrational spectra of the complexes were assigned using DFT calculations. In support with the X-ray structure, the results reveal that ν as (N–O) splits into two bands, with the separation increasing from [CuL Me (η 2 -ONO) 2 ] through to [CuL tert-buty (η 2 -ONO) 2 ]. That is at least partially dictated by steric factors within the molecules, imposed by the alkyl groups of the co-ligand. The UV–Vis absorption spectra are presented and analyzed with the help of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
