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…
Synthesis, X-ray crystal structure and magnetic study of the 1D {[Cu(N,N-diethyl-1,2-ethanediamine)(μ1,5-dca)(dca)]}n complex
Abstract A new complex, {[CuL(μ1,5-dca)(dca)]}n (1), has been synthesized from the reaction of Cu(NO3)2 · 3H2O, N,N-diethyl-1,2-ethanediamine (L) and sodium dicyanamide (Nadca) in aqueous medium. Single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the complex has a 1D infinite zigzag chain structure in which copper(II) ions are bridged by single dicyanamide ligands in an end-to-end fashion. The chains propagate parallel to the crystallographic b-axis and they are stacked one upon another along the c-axis. The coordination environment of the copper(II) centers are distorted square-pyramidal. Of the four coordination sites of the basal plane of the square-pyramid, two are occupied by the nitrogen atom…
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…
