Functionalised azetidines as ligands: pyridyl-complemented coordination

Abstract

A relatively simple azetidine derivative with 2-aminoethyl and 2-pyridyl substituents functions as a tridentate ligand towards Cu(II), giving species in which the CuN3 unit is essentially planar and that, in the solid state, show a subtle balance between mononuclear and binuclear forms, allowing both to be simultaneously present in some lattices. Displacement of the ligand from Cu(II) by the use of cyanide results in the formation of cyanogen, which appears to slowly react with the free amine to give an oxamidine characterised in its doubly-deprotonated form as its binuclear Ni(II) complex.
