A 'Butterfly'-shaped Water Tetramer in a Cu4 Complex Supported by a Hydrazone Ligand: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Magnetic Properties, and Quantum …
2009
A potentially tetradentate NOOO donor hydrazone ligand, LH2 (condensation product of benzhydrazide with O-vanillin) generates a tetranuclear CuII complex [Cu4(L)4]·4H2O (1), whose void spaces are occupied by water tetramers presenting a ‘butterfly’ conformation with the highest dihedral angle reported to date, as revealed by its X-ray crystal structure. 1 has also been characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, including IR, UV-vis, and elemental analysis. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal the presence of moderate antiferromagnetic intra-tetramer coupling between the four CuII centres connected through simple oxo groups of the hydrazone ligand with…
Syntheses, characterisation, magnetism and photoluminescence of a homodinuclear Ln(III)-Schiff base family.
2009
A novel family of homodinuclear complexes of the general formula [Ln(2)L(2)(X)(2)] (where Ln = Nd(3+), Pr(3+), Sm(3+) and Tb(3+) for 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively and X, the coordinated NO(3)(-) or Cl(-) anion) has been synthesised from the corresponding lanthanide(III) salts with the pentadentate dianionic Schiff base ligand, H(2)L [N(1),N(3)-bis(salicylideneimino)diethylenetriamine], that exhibits a N(3)O(2) donor set. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies evidenced the isostructurality of this family of centrosymmetric neutral dinuclear entities where the Ln(III) metal centres are coupled together by two phenolato oxygen atoms belonging to two units of ligand (H(2)L). Interestingly, the…
