Coordination Compounds of Copper(I) chloride with pyridine and related ligands

Abstract Complexes of Cu(I) with pyridine, picolines, lutidines, quinolines, piperidine and acridine have been studied by potentiometric method. Only the complexes 3 picoline, 2.4 and 2.6 lutidines, quinoline, piperidine and acridine could be isolated in pure form. The elementary analyses and the infra red spectra of the 1:1 complexes suggest that they behave like pyridine complexes and the increase in γ(CH ring) contributes most to NM bond strength.
