Aiming at get an insight into <strong>the</strong> redox properties <strong>of</strong> Cu(I) camphor hydrazone<br />

compounds we studied <strong>the</strong> electrochemical behavior <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> one-dimensional<br />

coordination polymers [{CuX} 2 (YNC 10 H 14 O)] n (X=Cl: Y=NMe 2 1a; Y=NHMe 1b,<br />

Y=NH 2 1c; X=Br: Y=NH 2 2c) [1] and dimers [Cu(YNC 10 H 14 -X)] (X=Cl: Y=NMe 2<br />

3a; Y=NHMe 3b; X=Br: Y=NMe 2 4a; Y=NHMe 4b) [2] by cyclic voltammetry and<br />

controlled potential electrolysis (CPE).<br />

As a general trend <strong>the</strong> camphor hydrazone Cu(I) complexes display one cathodic and<br />

one anodic processes (Table 1). The cathodic processes occur at potential values in <strong>the</strong><br />

range <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> corresponding free ligand suggesting a ligand based process.<br />

Pt wire as electrode and [NBu 4 ](BF 4 ] (0.2M) in THF using as electrolyte. Values measured in Volt (± 10 mV). b<br />

Irreversible wave. c Not observed within <strong>the</strong> potential range available. d Ano<strong>the</strong>r cathodic wave is observed at<br />

lower potential.<br />

The anodic processes are metal based involving transfer <strong>of</strong> two electrons per mole in <strong>the</strong><br />

dimer species. CPE performed at <strong>the</strong> potential <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> anodic process in coordination<br />

polymers is masked by chemical reactivity.<br />
