Abstract: | The three title compounds, namely 4‐phenyl‐1H‐imidazolium hexa‐μ2‐chloro‐chloro‐μ4‐oxo‐tris(4‐phenyl‐1H‐imidazole‐κN1)tetracopper(II) monohydrate, (C9H9N2)[Cu4Cl7O(C9H8N2)3]·H2O, hexa‐μ2‐chloro‐μ4‐oxo‐tetrakis(pyridine N‐oxide‐κO)tetracopper(II), [Cu4Cl6O(C5H5NO)4], and hexa‐μ2‐chloro‐tetrakis(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole‐κN1)‐μ4‐oxo‐tetracopper(II) methanol trisolvate, [Cu4Cl6O(C4H6N2)4]·3CH4O, exhibit the same Cu4OCl6 framework, where the O atom at the centre of an almost regular tetrahedron bridges four copper cations at the corners. This group is in turn surrounded by a Cl6 octahedron, leading to a rather globular species. This special arrangement of the CuII cations results in a diversity of magnetic behaviours. |
