E-mail: roszcz@umk.pl Abstract: Four copper(II) oxime complexes, [Cu(HPPK)(PPK)X] (HPPK = phenyl-2-pyridylketoxime and X = CI− (I ), CF3COO− (II ), C3F7COO− (III ), and [Cu(PPK)2]2 (IV )), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy (IR), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD analysis revealed that I -III contain copper(II) coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from two oxime molecules in the basal plane and one monodentate anion X in the apical position of a distorted square pyramid. Complex IV is dimeric and it is formed by two Cu(PPK)2 units. Bridges between these units are formed by the two oxygen atoms of the deprotonated oxime groups. Thermal stability of I -IV was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in air and in nitrogen atmosphere, respectively. Evolved gaseous decomposition products were characterized by IR. I -IV decompose via multistep processes. Fluorocarbons and CO2 were observed to be the most abundant gaseous species evolved. Preliminary ammonolysis experiments were performed to examine the possibility of using II and IV as precursors for the synthesis of copper nitride. Moreover, solutions of IV were spin-coated onto silicon substrates. Surface structure and morphology of the resulting films were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) and layers with island-like distribution of material were observed Keywords: copper(II) complexes – phenyl-2-pyridylketoxime – spin coating – thermal properties – ammonolysis Full paper is available at www.springerlink.com.
