Preparation, crystal structure and magnetic properties of Ni2(dpa)2(pyz)(H2O)4

A Ni(II)-based dimer structure, Ni₂(dpa)₂(pyz)(H₂O)₄ (dpa = 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid dianion, pyz: pyrazine), has been prepared using hydrothermal synthesis and the solid-state magnetic properties have been evaluated. In the dimeric structure, the planar tridentate 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid dianion coordinates to a Ni(II) ion in a meridional fashion and defines the equatorial plane of the complex. The fourth equatorial coordination site is then occupied by a pyrazine molecule that functions as a linear bidentate ligand bridging two Ni(II) complexes to form a dimer. The axial positions of each Ni(II) complex are occupied by two water molecules to form a distorted octahedral geometry. Susceptibility and magnetization measurements show that both intra-dimer and inter-dimer exchange interactions are weakly antiferromagnetic. The fitting of the magnetic data also indicates the existence of a large axial zero-field splitting term that contributes to the small magnetization even under high fields.

The structure of 1 consists of anionic oxalate-bridged copper(II) chains, tetramethylammoniun cations and crystallization water molecules. Each copper(II) ion in 1 is surrounded by three oxalate ligands, one being bidentate and the other two exhibiting bis-bidenate coordination modes. Although all the tris-chelated copper(II) units from a given chain exhibit the same helicity, adjacent chains have opposite helicities and then an achiral structure results. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1 show the occurrence of a weak ferromagnetic interaction through the oxalate bridge [J = +1.14(1) cm⁻¹, the Hamiltonian being defined as H = –J ∑_nmS_i · S_j]. This value is analyzed and discussed in the light of available magneto-structural data for oxalate-bridged copper(II) complexes with the same out-of-plane exchange pathway.     

Synthesis,structure, and properties of a 1-D copper(II) complex with nitronyl nitroxide radicals

A 1-D chain complex [Cu(NIT4Py)(IDA)]_∞ (NIT4Py = 2-(4′-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide and IDA = iminodiacetate) has been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, TGA, and magnetic analysis. Each Cu(II) is five-coordinate with distorted square pyramidal geometry. Each IDA bridges two Cu(II) ions via one carboxylate which occupies the axial site of Cu(II), leading to a chain structure composed of Cu(II)-radical cations and IDA anions. In the complex, there exist three magnetic exchange pathways, (i) interaction between units of (Cu(II)-NIT4Py) through IDA, (ii) Cu(II)-NIT4Py interaction, and (iii) NIT4Py-NIT4Py interaction through space. Compared with the first two magnetic interactions, the last magnetic exchange interaction should be too weak to be counted because of the large distance of the neighboring NIT4Py molecules (4.993 Å). Analysis of the magnetic properties was performed using the Bleany–Bowers (dimer) model, showing that the complex exhibited both weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the Cu(II) and NIT4Py, and between the units of (Cu(II)-NIT4Py) through IDA with exchange coupling parameters J = ?7.28 cm^?1 and zJ′ = ?0.40 cm^?1.
