Li, Shi-Xiong published the artcileStructure, magnetism and oxygen reduction reaction in mixed-valent Cu(I)···Cu(II) complex supported by benzimidazole derivative, Product Details of C9H10N2O, the publication is Inorganica Chimica Acta (2021), 120356, database is CAplus.
Cu complexes have been extensively studied as synthetic models because of their different valences. Here, when the organic ligand (1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methanol (HL) was used to react with Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O in CH3CN, the authors successfully obtained a mix valent copper complex [CuII(L1)2][CuI(HL)2]·ClO4 (1) under 60°C. The structure anal. suggested that the Cu1 ion was coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from two HL ligands, which two ligands without removing H ions. The Cu2 ion was coordinated with two oxygen ions and two nitrogen atoms from two L1 ligands, which two ligands with removing H ions. The XPS test showed that the valence state of Cu1 ion was +1, and the Cu2 ion was +2. The magnetic susceptibility was exhibited ferrimagnetism with g = 2.04. The electrocatalytic results suggested that CuIICuI species reacted with O2 to give a superoxide radical intermediate for complex 1.
