Based on the thesis work of Blaž Antonin, I have re-synthesised four copper(I) complexes with bipyridine-type ligands using an optimised procedure in which I have changed the solvent and extended the reaction time under inert conditions. I also prepared two new copper(I) complexes of the same bipyridine type and in the end all the products obtained were characterised accordingly.
The characterisation of the compounds included NMR, UV-VIS, IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
