EPR OF COPPER(II) HIPPURATE AND ACETYLGLYCINE COMPLEXES

Abstract
The epr spectrum of the green anhydrous copper(II) hippurate complexes suggests a dimer structure similar to copper acetate monohydrate. The blue tetrahydrate copper(II) hippurate complex exhibits exchange narrowed lines and a simple analysis of the data points to a low-dimensional interaction. This is generally consistent with earlier x-ray data. The tetrahydrate complex of copper(II) acetylglycine is believed to be structually similar to the blue hippurate complex and exhibits a similar epr spectrum.
