Synthesis, X‐ray Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of Oxalato‐Bridged Copper( II ) Complexes with 2,3‐Bis(2‐pyridyl)pyrazine, 2,3‐Bis(2‐pyridyl)quinoxaline and 2,2′‐Bipyrazine as Peripheral Ligands

Five oxalate-containing copper(II) complexes of formula [Cu(dpq)(H2O)(ox)]·5H2O (1), [Cu(dpp)(H2O)(ox)]·H2O (2), [Cu(bpz)(ox)]n (3), [Cu2(dpp)2(H2O)2(NO3)2(ox)]·4H2O (4) and [Cu2Cl2(bpz)2(H2O)2(ox)][Cu(bpz)(H2O)2(ox)]·2H2O (5) [dpq = 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline; dpp = 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine; bpz = 2,2′-bipyrazine; ox = oxalate] were prepared and their structures were determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals. Complexes 1 and 2 are discrete mononuclear complexes with oxalate and dpq (1)/dpp (2) acting as bidentate ligands. Complex 3 is a neutral oxalato-bridged (2,2′-bipyrazine)copper(II) chain where the oxalate adopts a bidentate/monodentate coordination mode, whereas 4 is an…

Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of copper(II) polynuclear and dinuclear compounds with 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (dpp) and pseudohalide as ligands

Abstract The preparation, crystal structures and magnetic properties of four heteroleptic copper(II) complexes with 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (dpp) and azide, cyanate or thiocyanate as ligands are reported, [Cu(dpp)(N3)2]n (1), [Cu(dpp)(NCO)2]n (2), [Cu(dpp)(NCS)2]2 (3) and [Cu(H2O)(dpp)(NCS)2]2·2H2O (4). Compounds 1 and 2 are isomorphous, triclinic, space group P1, and consist of mononuclear building blocks featuring copper atoms with close to square planar coordination geometries. The mononuclear units are, however, associated into chains through weak axial Cu–N bonds formed by end-on asymmetrically bridging azido/cyanato groups and by pyridyl nitrogen atoms. Taking these contacts into a…

Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of one- and two-dimensional pap-containing copper(II) complexes (pap = pyrazino[2,3-  f  ][4,7]phenanthroline)

Three polynuclear complexes containing copper(II) and pyrazino[2,3-f][4,7]phenanthroline (pap) as the basic building blocks have been prepared [Cu2(pap)(H2O)2(NO3)3]n[NO3]n1, [Cu4(pap)4Cl7]nCln·15nH2O 2, and [Cu4(pap)4(H2O)4(C4O4)2]n[C4O4]n[NO3]2n·12nH2O 3, and their crystal structures and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities determined. Compound 1 is a single stranded zigzag chain where pap and nitrate alternate as bridges between the copper atoms. The copper coordination geometry is to a first approximation distorted square pyramidal, but with an additional semi-coordinated oxygen from non-bridging nitrate groups. The bridging nitrate coordinates in the apical position to both c…

Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of polynuclear 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene (hat)-bridged copper(II) complexes

Three polynuclear compounds containing copper(II) and 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene (hat) as the basic building blocks have been prepared, [Cu4(hat)2Cl8]n·6nH2O 1, [Cu(hat)(H2O)2]n[NO3]2n2, and [Cu2(hat)(H2O)6]n[SO4]2n·2nH2O 3, their crystal structures determined and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data measured. The basic building block in 1 is the dinuclear [Cu2(hat)Cl4] entity, two such units being connected to tetranuclear units through relatively strong axial Cu–Cl bonds (out-of-plane di-μ-chloro bridges). Weaker axial Cu⋯Cl interactions link the units into a sheet structure. In 2 and 3 hat-bridged copper(II) chains extending along glide planes are present. hat serves a…

Solid state polymerization causing transition to a ferromagnetic state. Crystal structures and magnetic properties of [Cu2(dpp)(H2O)(dmso)Cl4]·dmso and [Cu2(dpp)Cl4]n (dpp = 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine)

The preparation, crystal structures and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data for [Cu2(dpp)(H2O)(dmso)Cl4]·dmso (1a) and [Cu2(dpp)Cl4]n (2) (dpp = 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine, dmso = dimethyl sulfoxide) are reported. 1a consists of dinuclear dpp-bridged molecules with chlorine, water and dmso serving as terminal ligands. The two copper atoms are crystallographically independent, with distorted square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometries, respectively. In a first approximation 2 may be described as a chain compound with out-of-plane mono-μ-chloro bridges (Cu–Cl–Cu–Cl). Only one of the crystallographically independent copper atoms participates in this chain fo…

Abstract The crystal structures of [Cu(hat)(H2O)(ox)]·H2O (I), [Cu(hat)(H2O)3(sq)]·3H2O (II) and [Cu(hat)(H2O)2](ClO4)2·4H2O (III) have been determined from X-ray single crystal diffraction data (hat=1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene, ox=oxalate, sq=squarate=dianion of 3,4-dihydroxy-cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione).

Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of dinuclear copper(II) complexes with pyrazino[2,3-f  ][4,7]phenanthroline (pap) as bridging ligand

Three dinuclear copper(II) complexes with pyrazino[2,3-f][4,7]phenanthroline (pap) as bridging ligand have been prepared; [Cu2(pap)(C2O4)2]·5H2O 1, [Cu2(pap)(H2O)7(SO4)]SO4·3H2O 2 and [Cu2(pap)(H2O)3(NO3)3]NO33. These are the first metal complexes of pap which have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and magnetic susceptibility measurements. In 1 the dinuclear complex is intercepted by a mirror plane; the bridging pap and the terminal oxalate ligands are bidentate in the equatorial plane of copper. In addition copper has weak axial interactions to oxygen atoms of oxalate in two neighbouring molecules. In 2 the two crystallograpically independent copper atoms are both six-co-ordinate…

Chains and channels in polynuclear copper(II) complexes with 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (dpp) as bridging ligand; syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties

Abstract The preparation and crystal structures for three Cu(II) polynuclear, chain complexes with 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (dpp) as bridging ligand are reported, [Cu(dpp)(H2O)2]n(NO3)2n·2n/3H2O (1), [Cu(dpp)(H2O)2]n(CF3SO3)2n (2), and [Cu(dpp)(H2O)2]n(BF4)2n·2nH2O (3). For the latter compound the crystal structure at four different temperatures have been studied. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data and ESR measurements of 1–3 and of the related copper(II) chain [Cu(dpp)(H2O)2]n(ClO4)2n·2nH2O (4) (whose structure was previously reported) have been performed. Compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in the same trigonal space group, R 3 c; 3 is orthorhombic, space group Pbca. Complexes …
