Several copper(II) complexes of 3,5-diisopropylsalicylic acid and a variety of ligating solvents have been prepared and studied by elemental analysis, and by infrared, electronic, and EPR spectroscopy. In the solid state, all of the compounds are binuclear, carboxylate-bridged Cu2(3,5-DIPS)4(L)2, where L may be a vacant site or a coordinating ligand. In non-coordinating solvents such as hexane and dichloromethane, the binuclear structure is retained in solution, but in polar coordinating solvents the dimer dissociates into monomers where the copper is coordinated to two solvent molecules and to two bidentate diisopropylsalicylate ligands through their carboxylic and phenolic oxygen atoms.
