Synthesis and Structure of Dinuclear Copper(II) Complexes of a Novel Hexaaza Macrocycle Containing Bridging Oxalate and Acetate IonsNon-template Schiff base [2 + 2] condensation of pyridine-2,6-dicarbaldehyde with 1,4-diamino-2-butyne yields the hexaazamacrocyclic ligand 1, which is converted to 2 by NaBH4 reduction of the imino groups. Two dinuclear copper(II) complexes of 2 containing oxalate and acetate ions, [(2)Cu2(μ-C2O4)](BPh4)2 (3) and [(2)Cu2(μ-CH3CO2)(OH2)](PF6)2.25-(NO3)0.75 (4), were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The oxalate ligand in 3 forms a (μ-η4:η4) bridge between the copper atoms. Compound 4 contains a syn-anti-bridging acetate ion. The Cu-Cu distances are 5.315 Å in 3 and 4.746 Å in 4, respectively. Oxalate can be separated from other carboxylates in aqueous solution by selective binding to the [(2)Cu2] unit and precipitation of 3.
