Abstract: Copper(II) complex of a tetradentate N-picolatedbisbenzimidazolyl ligand is synthesized and characterized. XRD study reveals that copper(II) is in a distorted square plane comprising of two imine nitrogen, one oxygen atom from nitrate and another from a water molecule. This complex carries out the oxidative coupling of aminomethylphenol to phenoxazinone through an intermediate p-quinoneimine. The reaction is pseudo first order with respect to the catalyst and is self-inhibiting with increasing substrate concentration. Anion like acetate is found to increase the rate of reaction by nine times. EPR monitoring indicates the formation of a Cu(I) species which is the likely cause of inhibition of the catalytic reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
