| Abstract: | The reaction of Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O with dimethylglyoxime (H2dmg) in a 1:1 mole ratio in aqueous methanol at room temperature affords the dinuclear complex [Cu2(μ-Hdmg)4] (1). Reaction of 1 with [Cu(bpy)(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) in a 1:1 mole ratio in aqueous methanol at room temperature yields the tetranuclear complex [Cu4(μ-Hdmg)2(μ-dmg)2(bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (2). The direct reaction of Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O with H2dmg and bpy in a 2:2:1 mole ratio in aqueous methanol at room temperature also yields 2 quantitatively. The complexes 1 and 2 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Unlike the binding in Ni/Co-dmg, two different types of N?O bridging modes during the oxime based metallacycle formation and stacking of square planar units have been identified in these complexes. The neutral dinuclear complex 1 has CuN4O coordination spheres and complex 2 consists of a dicationic [Cu4(μ-Hdmg)2(μ-dmg)2(bpy)2(H2O)2]2+ unit and two uncoordinated ClO4? anions having CuN4O and CuN2O3 coordination spheres. The two copper(II) ions are at a distance of 3.846(8) Å in 1 for the trans out of plane link and at 3.419(10) and 3.684(10) Å in 2 for the trans out of plane and cis in plane arrangements, respectively. The average Cu–Noxime distances are 1.953 and 1.935 Å, respectively. The average basal and apical Cu?Ooxime distances are 1.945, 2.295 and 2.429 Å. The UV–Vis spectra of 2 is similar to the spectrum of the reaction mixture of 1 and [Cu(bpy)(H2O)2]2+. Variable temperature magnetic properties measurement shows that the interaction between the paramagnetic copper centers in complex 1 is antiferromagnetic in nature. The EPR spectra of frozen solution of the complexes at 77 K consist of axially symmetric fine-structure transitions (ΔMS = 1) and half-field signals (ΔMS = 2) at ca. 1600 G, suggesting the presence of appreciable Cu–Cu interactions. |
