Metal complexes of tropolone derivatives have attracted the interest of researchers in such diverse areas as materials science and medicinal chemistry. For example, bis-(hinokitiolato)copper(II) [hinokitiol = 3-isopropyl-7-oxocyclohepta-1,3,5-trienol] is an extensively polymorphic complex with reported antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. We have been interested in studying the adducts formed between this complex and a variety of organic species, including amines. Experimental induced proton NMR shifts are reported here for various aliphatic and aromatic amines coordinated to the paramagnetic bis-(hinokitiolato)copper(II) complex. These shift values are obtained by analysis of the chemical shifts observed in the presence of varying amounts of metal complex relative to amine.
