Synthesis and magnetic properties of copper(II)-MII-copper(II) trinuclear complexes with N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)oxamidocopper(II) [M = Co and Ni]

Summary Two novel trinuclear complexes were prepared, namely [Cu₂(oxae)₂(H₂O)₂M] (ClO₄)₂, [oxae = N,N-bis(2-aminoethyl) oxamido dianion; M = Co and Ni]. Based on elemental analyses, conductivity measurements and i.r. spectra, the complexes are proposed to have extended oxamidobridged structures. The magnetic susceptibility of [Cu₂-(oxae) ₂(H₂O)₂Co](ClO₄)₂ were measured over the 4–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin Hamiltonian, =–2J(₁·₂·₂·₃). The exchange integral, J, was found to be equal to –29.2 cm^–1, indicating an antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between the adjacent metal ions.     

Ferromagnetically coupled heterobinuclear Cu(Ⅱ)-Ln(Ⅲ) complexes with N,N''''-bis(2-aminoethyl)-oxamido dianion as a bridged ligand

Six novel μ-oxamido heterobinuclear complexes, namely Cu(oxae)Ln(Me2bpy)2-(ClO4)3 (Ln=La, Nd, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er), where oxae denotes N, N'-bis(2-aminoethyl)oxamido dian-ion, Me2bpy is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridyl, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, conductivity measurements and electronic spectra. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Cu(oxae)Gd(Me2bpy)2(ClO4)3 has been meaured over the range 4-300 K. The least-squares fit of the experimental susceptibilities yielded J - 1.87 cm-1.The observed Gd(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) coupling is ferromagnetic. One plausible mechanism that can cause a ferromagnetic coupling between Gd(Ⅲ) and Cu(Ⅱ) is discussed in terms of spin-polarization.     

Synthesis,spectral and magnetic studies of novel μ-oxamido heterotinuclear complexes

Summary Three novel heterotrinuclear complexes have been prepared, [Cu₂(oxdn)₂Zn](ClO₄)₂ (1) and [Cu₂(oxdn)₂-M(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ with M=Mn (2) and Co (3) [oxdn-oxamidobis (propionato)], and characterized by spectral data. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities of (2) and (3) has been studied in the 4–300K range, and the exchange integrals J=–20.90cm^–1 for (2) and J=–62.36cm^–1 for (3) calculated. These results are commensurate with antiferromagnetic interactions between the adjacent metal ions.

The magnetic susceptibilities of complexes (1) (L = 5-NO₂-phen) and (2) (L = DMbpy) were measured in the 4.2–300 K range, giving the parameters,J = -335cm^-1 (1) andJ= -327.5cm^-1 (2). The results demonstrate a very strong antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between the adjacent copper(II) ions.     

The First New Hydrogen-Bonded Heterohexanuclear Complex [(salen)Cu]4[(salen)Fe(H2O)2]2(ClO4)2: Molecular and Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties

The preparation, magnetic properties, and crystal structure of [(salen)Cu]₄[(salen)Fe(H₂O)₂]₂(ClO₄)₂ via hydrogen bonding are described [salen=N,N-ethylenebis (salicylideneiminate)]. Crystals are triclinic, of space group , with cell constants a=12.853(3), b=13.921(3), c=14.251(3) Å, =68.68(3)°, =87.86(3)°, =86.82(3)°, and Z=1. The structure was solved and refined to R=0.064 and R=0.068. The structure comprises the hexanuclear units which result from the linking of four mononuclear fragments [(salen)Cu] and two mononuclear fragment [(salen)Fe(H₂O)]⁺, through Cu -O H -O -Fe -O -H O -Cu hydrogen bonds of coordinating H₂O. In this complex, Fe^III ions are in almost square-planar surroundings. The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibilities of the complex have been studied in the 4.2–300 K range, indicating the presence of an antiferromagnetic interactions between metal ions.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of trinuclear nickel(II) complexes bridged by α-benzyldioximato groups

Four new NiII–NiII–NiII homotrinuclear complexes namely [Ni(-BD)2{NiL2}](ClO4)2 [L = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (5-NO2-phen), 2,2-bipyridyl (bpy) or 4,4-dimethyl-2,2bipyridyl (Me2bpy) and (-BD)– = -benzyldioximato ion] have been prepared and characterized.

The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility for complexes (1) (phen), (2) (5-NO2-phen), (3) (bpy) and (4) (Me2bpy) were measured over the 77–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator (H^ = –2JS^1S^2), giving the exchange integral J = –13.31 cm–1 for (1), J = –7.37 cm–1 for (2), J = –8.96 cm–1 for (3) and J = –7.33 cm–1 for (4) These results indicate a weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange interaction between the two terminal nickel(II) io

Four novel copper(Ⅱ) complexes have been synthesized,namely Cu(hfac)2NITPhNO2 (1),Cu(hfac)2NITPhCH3 (2),Cu(pfpr)2NITPhNO2,(3) and Cu(Pfpr)2NITPhCH3 (4),where hfac= hexafluoro-acetylacetonate,pfpr=pentafluoropropionate,NITR.=2-R-4,4,5,5-tetraniethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazolyl-1-oxyl-3-oxide.(R=4-nitrophenyl,4-methylphenyl).These complexes were rharicter-ized by elemental analyses,IR,electronic spectra and molar conductance.The temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility of complexes 1 and 3 have been studied in the 4 300 K range,giving I he exchange integral J=10.56 cm-1 for complex 1 and J =-30.9 cm-1 for complex 3.

The syntheses and magnetic properties are reported for a series of copper(Ⅱ) complexes prepared from a pentadentate binucleating ligand 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol di(benzoyl-hydrazone) (H3L). These complexes incorporate different exogenous ions (X-) into a bridging position to form copper(Ⅱ) binuclear complexes of the formula [Cu2(H2L)X]2+, where X-= Br-(1), Cl-(2), HO-(3), C2H5O-(4) and C3H3N2- (5). The complexes have been characterized with variable temperature magnetic susceptibility (4.2-300 K) and the observed data were fit to those from a modified Bleaney-Bowers equation by least-squares method, giving the exchange integral 2J = -6.2 cm-1 for 1, -76.4 cm-1 for 2, -241.9 cm-1 for 3, -231.1 cm-1 for 4 and -343.8 cm-1 for 5. This suggested that there is an antiferromagnetic interaction between the Cu(Ⅱ) ions and the sequence of the effect of some exogenous bridging ligands on magnetic coupling is corresponding to that in spectrochemical series.

The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of {[Ni(phen)₂]₂[Cu(opba)]}(ClO₄)₂3H₂O has been studied in the 4–300 K range, giving the exchange integral J—109 cm^?1. The HMT vs. T plot exhibits a minimum at about 100 K, characteristic of this kind of coupled polymetallic complex with an irregular spin-state structure.
