Synthesis and Characterization of Two Copper (II) Complexes of 4 '-tolyl-2,2 ':6 ',2 ''-Terpyridine and Simultaneous Detection and Separation of [Cu(ttpy)(NO3)(2)] and CuO by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis Method

Abstract

A simple synthetic method has been used to prepare copper(II) complexes of 4 '-tolyl-2,2 ':6 ',2 ''-terpyridine (ttpy) ligand, [Cu(ttpy)(NO3)(2)] (1) and [Cu-2(ttpy)(ClO4)(4)](n) (2), in good yields. Also capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method was used for simultaneous detection and separation of complex 1 and CuO obtained from its calcination.
