Meanwhile, the molecules are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, leading to a 1-D chain structure. Moreover, such chains are further linked by π-π stacking interactions to form a 2-D network structure. Magnetic measurement demonstrates that the intramolecular exchange couplings between Cu（Ⅱ） ion and the IM-1 ′-MeBzIm are ferromagnetic with J = 12.46 cm^-1, where the spin Hamitonian is defined as H^ = -2JS^1S^2 within the complex.     

Crystal Structure and Inhibitory Activity against Xanthine Oxidase of Bis（μ2- chloro）-chloro-（μ-N,N＇-（2-pyridylmethylene） Furanmethanoamine Copper（II） Complex

A chloro-bridged dinuclear copper（H） complex with ligand 2-pyridylme-thylene- furfurylamine has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and its inhibitory activity on xanthine oxidase （XO） was also evaluated. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P 1 with a = 8.0441（16）, b = 8.5663（17）, c = 10.060（2）A, α = 77.52（3）, β = 72.04（3）, γ = 70.12（3）°, V = 615.3（2）A^3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.731 g/cm^3, F（000） = 322, the final R = 0.0401 and wR = 0.0934 for 1971 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. X-ray analysis reveals that the Cu（II） cation is five-coordinated by two N atoms of Schiff base and three Cl anions. The C-H…Cl intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds connect the molecules to form a three-dimensional network. This copper（II） complex shows more potent inhibitory activity against XO with IC50 = 3.48μM than the standard inhibitor allopurinol.
