Oxalate, squarate and croconate complexes with bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amidatecopper(II): synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties
Abstract The preparation and magnetic properties of three copper(II) compounds of formulae [Cu2(bpcam)2(H2O)2(C2O4)] (1), [Cu2(bpcam)2(H2O)4(C4O4)] · 10 H2O (2) and Cu2(bpcam)2(C5O5)(H2O)3 (3) [bpcam = bis(2-pyrimidyl)amidate, C 2 O 4 2 - = dianion of oxalic acid , C 4 O 4 2 - = dianion of 3 , 4 - dihydroxycyclobut - 3 - ene - 1 , 2 - dione and C 5 O 5 2 - = dianion of 4 , 5 - dihydroxycyclopent - 4 - ene - 1 , 2 , 3 - trione ] are reported. The structures of two of them (1 and 2) have been solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction and consists of centrosymmetric discrete copper(II) dinuclear units bridged by bis-bidentate oxalate (1) and bis-monodentate squarate (2), with the bpcam group …
Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of tricyanomethanide-containing bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amidate copper(II) complexes
Abstract Three new copper(II) complexes of formulae [Cu(bpcam)(tcm)(H2O)] · 2H2O (1), [Cu(bpcam)(tcm)(H2O)] (2) and [Cu(bpcam)(tcm)]n (3) [bpcam = bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amidate and tcm = tricyanomethanide] have been prepared and their structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 are mononuclear species where each copper atom is five-coordinated in a somewhat distorted square pyramidal environment with a tridentate bpcam ligand and a terminally bound tcm group building the basal plane and a water molecule in the apical position. Compound 3 is a uniform copper(II) chain where the [Cu(bpcam)]+ units are connected through single μ-1,5-tcm bridges which link one…
Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of [Co(bpcam)2]ClO4·dmso·H2O, [Co(bpcam)2]2[Co(NCS)4]·dmso·H2O and [Ni(bpcam)2]·H2O [Hbpcam = bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amide]
The preparation, spectroscopic characterization, structural study and magnetic investigation of three new complexes of formula [Co(bpcam)2]ClO4·dmso·H2O (1), [Co(bpcam)2]2[Co(NCS)4]·dmso·H2O (2) and [Ni(bpcam)2]·H2O (3) [Hbpcam = bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amide] are reported. Each bpcam group in 1–3 acts as a tridentate ligand being coordinated to the cobalt(III) (1 and 2)/nickel(II) (3) ions through three nitrogen atoms in a mer-arrangement. Six-coordinate cobalt(III) and nickel(II) occur in 1 and 3 respectively, whereas six-coordinate cobalt(III) and four-coordinate cobalt(II) coexist in 2. Cyclic voltammetry of 1 in acetonitrile shows the occurrence of one quasi reversible CoIII ↔ CoII pro…
Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of mono- and polynuclear [bis(2-arylcarbonyl)amidate]copper(II) complexes
Abstract Five copper(II) complexes of formulas [Cu(bpcam)(CN)(H2O)] (1), [Cu(bpcam)(N3)(H2O)]2 (2), [Cu(bpcam)(NCS)(H2O)] (3), [Cu(bpcam)(dca)(H2O)]2 (4) and [Cu(bpca)(tcm)]n (5) [bpcam = bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amidate, bpca = bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amidate, dca = dicyanamide and tcm = tricyanomethanide] have been prepared and their structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1 and 3 are mononuclear species where each copper atom is five coordinated with a tridentate bpcam and a terminally bound cyanide (1)/thiocyanate (3) ligands creating a basal plane with a water molecule in the axial position of a distorted square pyramid. Compound 2 is made of neutral di-μ-1,1-…
Design of single cyanide-bridged tetranuclear bimetallic rectangles exhibiting ferromagnetic coupling
Abstract The cyanide-bridged tetranuclear bimetallic rectangles ( XPh 4 ) 4 [ Fe 2 III Cu 2 II ( μ - CN ) 4 ( CN ) 8 ( L ) 2 ] · n H 2 O [X = P (1) and As (2); L = bpcam (1) and bpca (2); n = 4 (1) and 0 (2)] have been prepared and their crystal structures were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction; 1 exhibits intramolecular ferromagnetic interactions (J1 = +3.7 cm−1 and J2 = +7.0 cm−1, H = - J 1 [ S Fe ( 1 ) · S Cu ( 1 ) + S Fe ( 1 a ) · S Cu ( 1 a ) ] − J 2 [ S Fe ( 1 ) · S Cu ( 1 a ) + S Fe ( 1 a ) · S Cu ( 1 ) ] + D [ S Fe ( 1 ) z 2 + S Fe ( 1 a ) z 2 ] ) leading to a low-lying S = 2 spin state.
Copper(II)-assisted hydrolysis of 2,4,6-tris(2-pyrimidyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpymt): syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of [Cu(bpcam)(H2O)2]ClO4·3H2O, [Cu(bpcam)(H2O)2][Cu(bpcam)(H2O)(SO4)]·2H2O and [Cu2(bpcam)2(H2O)2(SO4)]·H2O [bpcam=bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amidate]
Abstract The reaction of the 2,4,6-tris(2-pyrimidyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpymt) ligand with copper(II) perchlorate or sulfate in aqueous solution affords complexes [Cu(bpcam)(H2O)2]ClO4 · 3H2O (1), [Cu(bpcam)(H2O)2][Cu(bpcam)(H2O)(SO4)] · 2H2O (2) and [Cu2(bpcam)2(H2O)2(SO4)] · H2O (3) [bpcam = bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amidate], whose structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Copper(II) promotes the hydrolysis of tpymt in mild conditions yielding the bpcam group which is present in the structures of 1–3 as a tridentate ligand. The structure of 1 consists of mononuclear [Cu(bpcam)(H2O)2]+ cations, uncoordinated perchlorate anions and water of crystallization. Th…
