Interaction between heterobinuclear molecules and nature of the ground spin state in oximato-bridged [CuIIMII]2 bis-binuclear complexes (M=Cu, Ni, Mn): crystal structure of [Cu(pdmg)Ni(Me3[12]N3)(EtOH)](ClO4)2

[EN] Two new heterobimetallic complexes [Cu(pdmg)Ni(Me-3[12]N-3)(CH3CH2OH)](ClO4)(2)(2) and [Cu(pdmg) Mn(bipy)(2)]-ClO4)(2) . H2O (3) (H(2)pdmg = 3,9-dimethyl-4,8-diazaundeca-3,8-diene-2 10-dione dioxime; Me-3[12]N-3 = 2,4,4-trimethyl-1,5,9-triazacyclododeca-1-ene; bipy = 2,2'-bipyridyl) have been prepared and characterized. The structure of 2 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. It consists of [Cu(pdmg)Ni(Me-3[12]N-3)(CH3CH2OH)](2+) cations and non-coordinated perchlorate anions. The [Cu(pdmg)(CH3CH2OH)] complex coordinates to the [Ni(Me-3[12]N-3)](2+) fragment to afford the binuclear unit doubly-bridged by oximato groups in cis arrangement. The coordination geo…

Synyhesis, structure, spectroscopy and redox chemistry of square-planar nickel(II) complexes with tetradentate o-phenylenedioxamidates and related ligands

[EN] A series of four-coordinate square-planar nickel(II) complexes of o-phenylenebis(N¿-methyloxamidate) (L1) and related o-phenylene(N¿-methyloxamidate)oxamate (L2) and o-phenylenebis(oxamate) (L3) tetradentate ligands have been synthesized and characterized structurally, spectroscopically and electrochemically. The parent nickel(II)¿L1 complex presents an intense MLCT band in the UV region (¿max = 357 nm) and a distinctive 1 s ¿ 4p CT satellite in the Ni K-edge XANES spectrum (E = 8339.2 eV). These features together with the short Ni¿N(amidate) bond lengths (1.85¿1.93 Å) as revealed by the analysis of the Ni K-edge EXAFS spectrum and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction are typi…

An Na8 Cluster in the Structure of a Novel oxamato-bridged Na'Cu'' three-Dimensional Coordination Polymer

[EN] The new heterometallic sodium(I)¿copper(II) compound Na4Cu2 (2) · 10.5 H2O (3), where H8[2] stands for N,N',N'',N'''-methanetetrayltetrakismethylenetetrakis(oxamic acid), has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 3 consists of cationic [Cu2(¿4:¿4-2)]4- dinuclear units, coordinated sodium cations, and water molecules. In the crystal, the dinuclear copper entities are joined through discrete aggregates of eight sodium atoms linked by oxamato and water bridges, leading to a three-dimensional polymeric network.

Tuning up the Tc in Mn(II)Cu(II) bimetallic planes and design of molecular-based magnets

Abstract A family of related compounds of general formula (PPh4)2Mn2[Cu((L)]3nH2O, where PPh4+ is the tetraphenylphosphonium cation and L stands for ortho-phenylenebis(oxamate) (opba, 1), ortho-phenylene (N′-methyloxamidate) (oxamate) (Meopba, 2) and ortho-phenylenebis (N′-methyloxamidate) (Me2opba, 3), have been synthesized. The X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray Within absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra at both Mn and Cu K-edges for all three compounds, as well as their powder X-ray patterns, are consistent with a layered structure built up of parallel Mn11Cu11 two-dimensional honeycomb networks separated by PPh4+ cations. Within the antonic metallic la…

A Square-Planar Dinickel(II) Complex with a Noninnocent Dinucleating Oxamate Ligand: Evidence for a Ligand Radical Species

[EN] The new bimetallic nickel(II) compound (PPh4)4[Ni2(2)]·6H2O (3), where H8[2] stands for N,N',N'',N'''-1,2,4,5-benzene-tetrayltetrakis(oxamic acid), has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 3 consists of [Ni2(n4:n4-2)]4- anions, tetraphenylphosphonium cations, and water molecules. Facile one-electron oxidation of the square-planar diamagnetic dinickel(II) complex [Ni2(n4:n4-2)]4- generates the metallo-radical species [Ni2(n4:n4-2·+)]3- with characteristic intra-ligand ¿cation radical transitions in the visible region (475-550 nm) as well as a typical quasi-isotropic EPR signal at g ¿ 2.0.
