A cyano-bridged bimetallic ferrimagnet: Synthesis, X-ray structure and magnetic study

Mixing of trans-[Mn(cyclam)Cl2]Cl (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) and potassium hexacyanochromate (K3[Cr(CN)6]) aqueous solutions instantaneously yields a 1D infinite chain complex {[Mn(cyclam)(l-CN)2Cr(CN)4]� H2O}n (1). The crystal structure of 1, crystallizing in the monoclinic system with space group P21/n has been solved from X-ray powder diffraction data following direct space approach and refined by the Rietveld method. The structure analysis of 1 reveals alternating [Cr(CN)6] 3� and [Mn(cyclam)] 3+

Synthesis, X-ray crystal structure and magnetic study of a novel μ2-1,1-azido bridged dimeric copper(II) complex

Abstract A new azido derivative of tridentate Schiff base copper(II) complex has been synthesized and characterized. X-ray single crystal structure analysis reveals that the complex [Cu2L2(N3)2(NO3)2] (1), containing 1-(N-pyridylimino)-3-aminopropane (L) as co-ligand, is a dimer in which copper(II) ions are bridged by two azido groups in end-on fashion. The coordination environment around copper(II) is distorted octahedral which is rarely observed among these types of azido bridged copper(II) dimers. Three among the four coordination sites of the basal plane of the octahedron are occupied by the nitrogen atoms of the Schiff base and the fourth site is occupied by a nitrogen atom of a μ2-1,1…

Oxo-Vanadium(IV) Dihydrogen Phosphate: Preparation, Magnetic Study, and Heterogeneous Catalytic Epoxidation

A layered oxo-vanadium(IV) dihydrogen phosphate, {VO(H2PO 4)2} n has been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by several physicochemical methods. Single-crystal X-ray analysis (crystal system, tetragonal; space group, P4/ ncc; unit cell dimensions, a = b = 8.9632(4), c = 7.9768(32) A) of {VO(H2PO4) 2} n reveals that the compound has an extended two-dimensional structure. The VO2+ moieties are connected through bridging H 2PO4 (-) ions, and this type of connection propagates parallel to the crystallographic ab plane which gives rise to a layered structure. The layers are staked parallel to the crystallographic c axis with a separation between the layers of ca. 4.0 A. Magnetic suscep…

Structural and magnetic diversity in metal-dicyanamido polymer moieties: Paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic 1D chain compound and weakly ferromagnetic 2D motif

Abstract The reaction of M(NO 3 ) 2 · x H 2 O (M = Cu, Ni and Co; x  = 3 for Cu and x  = 6 for Co/Ni), imidazole (Im) and sodium dicyanamide (dca) afforded the complexes [M(Im) 2 (dca) 2 ] (where M = Cu for 1 , M = Ni for 2 , and M = Co for 3 ). All of them have been characterized structurally by single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. X-ray analysis reveals that the dicyanamido ligand features the μ 1,3 bridging mode that led to the formation of two-dimensional structure of complex 1 while complexes 2 and 3 attribute an infinite one-dimensional chain like structure to generate the fascinating molecular assemblies. The {N(CN) 2 } − ligands present in the complexes 2 and 3 are coordin…

Fully interlocked three-dimensional molecular scaffolding: Synthesis, X-ray structure, magnetic and nitrogen sorption study

Abstract The reaction of M(NO3)2·6H2O (M = Co or Ni), N,N-diethyl-ethylenediamine (deen) and sodium dicyanamide (dca) afforded the complex {[M(deen)(μ1,5-dca)2]}n (where for 1, M = Co and for 2, M = Ni). The complexes have been characterized structurally and magnetically. X-ray analysis reveals that the isomorphous complexes 1 and 2 feature similar infinite three-dimensional scaffolding-like structure to generate the fascinating molecular assembly. All the {N(CN)2}− ligands present in the complexes are connected to the symmetry related metal centers in an end-to-end fashion through bent {N(CN)2}− ligands. The zigzag linkage propagates parallel to three crystallographic axes to form a fully …

Synthesis, X-ray crystal structure and magnetic study of a μ 1,5-dca bridged ferromagnetic dimeric copper(II) complex

Reaction of Cu(NO3)2 · 3H2O, 1-(N-salicyalideneimine)-2-(N,N-dimethyl)-aminoethane (HL1), LiClO4, and sodium dicyanamide (Nadca) in aqueous medium affords a dimeric complex [Cu2(L1)2 (μ1, 5-dca)](ClO4) (1). Single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that 1 is dinuclear with copper(II) ions bridged by a single dicyanamide group in end-to-end fashion. The coordination environment around copper(II) is square planar. Two nitrogens and oxygen of the tridentate Schiff-base ligand (HL1) occupy three coordination sites of the square plane while the remaining site is occupied by the nitrogen of a terminal nitrile of the bridging dca. The nitrogen of the other terminal nitrile group of the μ1,5-dca ligand…

Synthesis, X-ray crystal structure and magnetic study of a dicyanamido bridged 1D chain nickel(II) complex

Abstract Reaction of Ni(NO3)2 · 6H2O and sodium dicyanamide (Nadca) yields a 1D infinite chain complex {[Ni(dien)(μ1,5-dca)(H2O)](NO3)}n (1) (where dien = diethylenetriamine). The coordination environment in complex 1 around the nickel(II) ions is distorted octahedron. Three nitrogen atoms of the ligand diethylenetriamine and an oxygen atom of H2O molecule constitute the four coordination sites of the basal plane of the octahedron. Of two axial positions of the octahedron, one position is occupied by the nitrogen atom of a μ1,5-dca anion the remaining coordination site is occupied by a nitrogen atom of another end-to-end bridging dca from an adjacent [Ni(dien)(μ1,5-dca)(H2O)] moiety, yieldi…
