Etude de quelques adipates de cuivre ii solvates: I. Complexes avec l'eau, l'ammoniac et la pyridine

Abstract A series of copper complexes containing water, ammonia and pyridine as ligands and involving adipate counter ions have been prepared. They have been characterized by using ESR and reflectance spectroscopy. Binuclear complexes were found in the anhydrous adipate and pyridine complex. This latter presents slight amounts of the mononuclear species, in which hyperfine lines due to 63 Cu and 65 Cu isotopes can be resolved in the parallel part of the ESR spectrum. The purity of the samples was sufficient to allow a thermochemical survey of the series.
