Magneto-structural correlations in a family of ReIVCuII chains based on the hexachlororhenate(IV) metalloligand
Six novel one-dimensional chloro-bridged ReIVCuII complexes of formula {[Cu(L)4][ReCl6]}n, where L = imidazole (Imi, 1), 1-methylimidazole (Meim, 2), 1-vinylimidazole (Vim, 3), 1-butylimidazole (Buim, 4), 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole (Vtri, 5) and N,N’-dimethylformamide (DMF, 6) are characterised structurally, magnetically and theoretically. The structures exhibit significant differences in Cu–Cl bond lengths and Re–Cl–Cu bridging angles, resulting in large differences in the nature and magnitude of magnetic exchange interactions between the ReIV and CuII ions. Theoretical calculations reveal the coupling to be primarily ferromagnetic, increasing in magnitude as the bridging angle becomes smaller…
Effect of Protonated Organic Cations and Anion−π Interactions on the Magnetic Behavior of Hexabromorhenate(IV) Salts
Two novel Re-IV compounds of formula (Hbpym)(2)[(ReBr6)-Br-IV]center dot 4H(2)O (1) and (H(4)biim)[(ReBr6)-Br-IV]center dot 4H(2)O (2) [Hbpym(+) = 2,2'-bipyrimidinium cation and H(4)biim(2+) = 2,2'-biimidazolium dication] have been prepared and magnetostructurally characterized. 1 and 2 exhibit distinct crystal packing, and the presence of weak intermolecular contacts, such as Re-Br...B-rRe (1 and 2), Re-Br center dot center dot center dot(H2O)center dot center dot center dot BrRe (1 and 2), and Re-Br center dot center dot center dot pi center dot center dot center dot Br-Re (2), lead to different magnetic behaviors. While 1 is antiferromagnetic, 2 is a ferromagnetic compound and indeed the…
Magneto-structural correlations in dirhenium(iv) complexes possessing magnetic pathways with even or odd numbers of atoms
The employment of pyrazine (pyz), pyrimidine (pym) and s-triazine (triz) ligands in ReIV chemistry leads to the isolation of a family of complexes of general formula (NBu4)2[(ReX5)2(μ-L)] (L = pyz, X = Cl (1) or Br (2); L = pym, X = Br (3); L = triz, X = Br (4)). 1-4 are dinuclear compounds where two pentahalorhenium(iv) fragments are connected by bidentate pyz, pym and triz ligands. Variable-temperature magnetic measurements, in combination with detailed theoretical studies, uncover the underlying magneto-structural correlation whereby the nature of the exchange between the metal ions is dictated by the number of intervening atoms. That is, the spin-polarization mechanism present dictates …
Self-assembly of the tetrachlorido(oxalato)rhenate( iv ) anion with protonated organic cations: X-ray structures and magnetic properties
Two novel ReIV compounds of formulae [H2bpy][ReIVCl4(ox)] (1) and [H3biim]2[ReIVCl4(ox)] (2) [H2bpy2+ = 4,4′-bipyridinium dication, H3biim+ = 2,2′-biimidazolium monocation, and ox2− = oxalate dianion] have been synthesised and magneto-structurally characterised. 1 crystallises in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c, and 2 crystallises in the triclinic system with space group P[1 with combining macron]. The ReIV ion in 1 and 2 is six-coordinate, bonded to four chloride ions and two oxalate-oxygen atoms in a distorted octahedral geometry. Short intermolecular ReIV–Cl⋯Cl–ReIV contacts, Cl⋯π type interactions and hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal lattice of both compounds, gener…
