Abstract: | A new binucleating macrocyclic ligand 2,6‐bis (1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecan‐10‐ylmethyl) methoxy‐benzene (L) and its binuclear copper (II) complex, [Cu2LBr2] (CIO4 )2 · 3H2O (1), was prepared and the structure was determined by X‐ray crystallography. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic crystal system, P21/n space group with a = 0.8206(3), b =2.0892(8), c = 2.3053(7) mn, β = 95.83(2)°, V = 3.932 nm3, Mr=1017.57, Z = 4, Dc =1.692 g/cm3, and R= 0.0489, Rw 0.0552 for 6571 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ (1). Both of the copper(II) centers are coordinated by four amine nitrogen donors of cyclen subunits and a bromide anion, and each copper(II) ion is in a square‐pyramidal coordination environment. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility studies indicate that there exists weak intramolecular antiferro‐magnetic coupling ( ?2J = 2.06 cm?1) between the two copper (II) centers. |
