Direct electrochemical synthesis and crystal structure of a copper(II) complex with a chiral (S)-2-(diphenylmethanol)-l-(2-pyridylmethyl)pyrrolidine

A new chiral binuclear copper(II) complex of (S)-2-(diphenylmethanol)-l-(2-pyridylmethyl)pyrrolidine (S-dmpmpH) was prepared by direct electrochemical oxidation of Cu electrode in acetonitrile solutions. The final product, Cu2(S-dmpmp)2Cl(μ-OH) was crystallized and characterized by microanalysis, Raman spectroscopy together with X-ray crystallographic determinations.
