%0 Journal Article %T Simulation of Plasticity of Copper(II) Coordination Polyhedron by Means of an Empirical Force Field Method %A Raos %A Nenad %A Simeon %A Vladimir %J - %D 1985 %X Sa£¿etak The empirical force field method of conformational analysis was used in order to reproduce the distorted planar geometry of bis-eN-alkylsalicylaldiminato) copper(II) complexes. The problem was partly solved by introducing two apically bonded £¿dummy£¿ atoms. The parameters adjusted to reproduce the configuration of copper atom in the orthorhombic modification of ethylated derivative, were shown to be adequate for the calculation of epimer- -selectivity effect in epimeric (M(L-ligand) (L-ligand) and M(L- -Iigand) (D-ligand)) copper(II) complexes with N,N-dimethylvaline. Calculations on other, more distorted structures of N-substituted copper(II) bis-salicylaldiminates (substituents: ethyl, t-butyl and i-propyl) were not able to reproduce crystal geometries suggesting that the model is applicable only for small deviations from planarity %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=261978
