Summary Copper(II) complexes of 2-amino-4,6-lutidineN-oxide (4,6DMAH) have been isolated as tetrafluoroborate, nitrate, chloride and bromide salts, and characterized by spectral methods (i.e., i.r., u.v.-vis. and e.s.r.). Variation of the ligand-to-copper(II) ratio yielded solids having the following empirical formulae: [Cu(4,6DMAH)4]X2 (X=BF4), [Cu(4,6DMAH)2X2] (X=NO3, Cl) and [Cu(4,6DMAH)X2] (X=Br). In addition, a deprotonated ligand complex, Cu(4,6DMA)2, was prepared using copper(II) acetate. The Sigand usually binds to the copper(II) centresvia theN-oxide oxygen and only the deprotonated ligand coordinatesvia the exocyclic nitrogen as well as the TV-oxide oxygen. The complexes involving coordinated anions and at least two ligands are monomeric while Cu(4,6DMAH)Br2 is polymeric. The ring substituents affect either the stoichiometry or the stereochemistry of these solids when compared to less sterically demanding 2-aminopyridineN-oxides.
