Abstract

The electronic structures of [Cu(terpy)2]2+ and [Cu(bpp)2]2+ (bpp = 2,6-di[pyrazol-1-yl]pyridine) are different, when doped into [M(bpp)2][BF4]2 (M2+ = Fe2+ or Zn2+). The [Cu(terpy)2]2+ dopant is a typical pseudo-Jahn–Teller elongated copper(II) center. However, the [Cu(bpp)2]2+ sites show EPR spectra consistent with a tetragonally compressed {dz2}1 configuration.
