N2 - The stability constants of the Cu(II) complex of Me6tren (Me6tren=tris-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine) were determined. The axial binding constants of F-, Br-, I- and N3- to Cu(tren)2+ and Cu(Me6tren)2+ (tren=tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine) were measured. The results obtained are compared with those of the axial binding constants of the isomers, i.e. the complexes Cu(trien)2+ and Cu(Me6trien)2+ (trien=1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane; Me6trien=2,5,8,11-tetramethyl-2,5,8,11-tetraazadodecane). The results point out that N-methylation transforms the Cu(II)L complexes into stronger and harder acids. Properties of the copper complexes with TMC (1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) and with Me6trpn (tris-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)amine) are also reported.
