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, Crystal Structure, Thermal Analysis and Magnetic Behavior of a Novel One‐Dimensional Polymeric Pyridinium Chlorocuprate( II ): (Hpy) 2 [Cu 3 Cl 8 (H 2 O) 2 ]
A one-dimensional polymeric pyridinium chlorocuprate (HPy)2[Cu3Cl8(H2O)2], an intermediate between (HPy)CuCl3 and CuCl2·2H2O, has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray analysis [monoclinic, P21/c, a = 7.8950(10), b = 14.144(2), c = 9.921(10) A, β = 99.20(2)°]. The structure contains [Cu3Cl8(H2O)2]n2n− chains in which both square-pyramidal and octahedral CuII exist. The chains are composed of linked [Cu2Cl6]2− dimers and CuCl2(H2O)2 monomeric units. On being heated in the solid state the compound undergoes dehydration followed by dehydrohalogenation to produce a pyridine complex of CuII: [Cu3Py2Cl6]. Other compounds, (HPy)2[CuCl4], CuPyCl2 and CuPy2Cl2, also produce [Cu3Py2Cl6] as an i…
