Abstract: | UV spectra of acetylacetone dioxime (2,4-pentanedione dioxime = AADO), benzoylacetone dioxime (BADO) and bis-benzoylacetone dioximato-Cu(II) Cu- (BADO*)2; BADO* = oxidized BADO] are recorded for aqueous and CHCl3 solutions at different pH values and interpreted. pKa values (1st dissociation constant) for AADO and BADO at constant ionic strenths (μ = 0.12) are derived: pKa (AADO) = 10.50; pKa (BADO) = 9.50, and the influence of molecular structure on acid-base properties is discussed. Diagrams of possible molecular orbital energy-level transitions for the oxime and the nitroso chromophores are given. The marked influence of acids (HC1) and bases (triethylamine, TEA) on the shape of the UV spectra of Cu- (BADO*)2 is discussed and explained in terms of the acid-base properties of the nitroso and the oxime groups. Additional evidence has been adduced for the presence of nitroso group and of hydrogen bonds in these complexes. |
