Bis-thiosemicarbazones derived from the β-diketone benzoylacetone (H3banR, R=Me, Et, Ph) are potentially tetradentate N2S2 ligands whose coordination chemistry with copper is reported. In the absence of oxygen and in the presence of base they form anionic CuII complexes of the fully deprotonated ligands [CuII(banR)]–. Upon exposure to atmospheric oxygen they undergo a complex series of reactions leading to two types of products; one a ligand oxidised ketone complex [CuII(banRO)] and the other an unprecedented dimeric di-CuIII complex [(CuIII(banR))2] depending on the R substituent. Time-resolved UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy have been used to identify intermediates on the way to stable products formed under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions. It is found that both ligand-centred and Cu-centred oxidation reactions are occurring in parallel leading to this unusually complicated mixture of products.

Summary The structure of copper complexes in copper amine treated wood samples were elucidated by the application of electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). EPR axial spectra were observed for all Cu-amine treated samples irrespective of the formulations. The values of A∥ and g∥ of the axial spectra indicate that the stereo-structure of copper complexes in copper amine treated wood was either tetragonal-based octahedral or square-based pyramidal. Comparison of electronic parameters of A∥ and g∥ in Cu-amine treated wood with those of the Cu-amine treating solution and the values in literature suggests that the interaction of wood with copper amine is through complexation in which wood functional groups are complexed with copper amine perpendicularly. The copper complexes in both treating solution and treated wood are in the form of CuN2O2, where copper is ligated with 2 nitrogen and 2 oxygen.
