Abstract

Samples of bis(1-phenyl-3-amino-2-butene-1-one)copper(II), bis(4-anilino-3-pentene-2-one)copper(II), bis(1,3-diphenyl-3-amino-2-propene-1-one)copper(II), and bis(4-amino-3-pentene-2-one)copper(II) were prepared and analyzed. Half-wave potentials and diffusion current constants for the copper chelates prepared have been measured in 75% dioxane by polarographic reduction. Trends regarding relative stabilities of the copper chelates in relation to the half-wave potentials were discussed, and postulations were developed to explain the observed trends. Logical over-all trends for the diffusion current constants could not be established.
