A ferromagnetically coupled single hydroxido bridged tetranuclear nickel(II) Schiff base complex incorporating a Ni4O4 cubane core: Crystal structure and magnetic study

Abstract The new tetranuclear nickel(II) complex [Ni4(OH)(L)(HL)2(CH3OH)1.5(H2O)1.5]·9H2O (1) has been synthesised by the reaction of NiCl2·6H2O and the Schiff base ligand H3L (H3L = (CH3O)(OH)C6H3CH N–C(CH3)(CH2OH)2), prepared by the 1:1 condensation of 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and o-vanillin, and characterized by different physicochemical methods. Single crystal X-ray structural determination identifies a Ni4O4 cubane moiety as the central part of the complex unit. The presence of a single μ3-hydroxido bridged oxygen occupying only one vertex of the Ni4O4 cubane core is rare in Ni4O4 cubanes (ca. 5% of occurrence). Structural analysis also reveals two similar alkoxido oxygen atoms…

Novel mixed-valence Cu compounds formed by Cu(II) dimers with double oximato bridges: in situ formation of anionic layer [Cu2(SCN)3]n(n-).

Two new N3O donor ketoxime Schiff bases (HL(1) and HL(2)) have been synthesized by condensing N,N-dimethylethylenediamine with diacetylmonoxime and benzilmonoxime, respectively in a 1:1 ratio. Reaction of Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O with HL(1) resulted in a discrete oximato-bridged dinuclear Cu(II) complex [Cu2(L(1))2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (1). The same reaction in presence of NaSCN affords the complex {[Cu(II)2(L(1))2][Cu(I)4(μ(1,3)-SCN)4(μ(1,1,3)-SCN)2]}n (2), where partial Cu(II)→Cu(I) reduction is observed. In 2, arrays of [Cu(II)2(L(1))2](2+) cationic units are inserted in between 2D {[Cu(I)4(SCN)6](2-)}n layers and connected via μ(1,1,3)-SCN(-) links, thus forming a 3D network. On the other hand, reaction…

Ferromagnetic copper(II)–copper(II) interaction in a single chlorido and dicyanamido bridged mixed–valence copper(I/II) 2D polymer generated by in situ partial reduction of copper(II)

A mixed-valence 2-D Cu(I/II) complex, [{Cu(II)(dmen)(μ-Cl)(μ1,5-dca)}{Cu(I)(μ1,5-dca)}]n (1) (dmen = N,N-dimethylethylenediamine, dca = dicyanamide = [N(CN)2]−), has been synthesized by in situ partial reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) using benzoin (2-hydroxy-1,2-di(phenyl)ethanone) as reductant. Complex 1 was characterized by spectroscopic techniques, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and low temperature magnetic measurements. Structural investigation reveals that 1 represents a mixed-valence 2-D coordination polymer formed by parallel 1-D [Cu(II)(dmen)(Cl)Cu(I)(μ1,5-dca)2]n chains running along the b axis, where chloride bridges Cu(II) ions of adjacent polymers through long connections (2.840…

Double azido/cyanato bridged copper(II) dimers incorporating tridentate nitrogen donors Schiff base: Structure, EPR and magnetic studies

Abstract A neutral tridentate nitrogen donor Schiff base ligand L (L = (E)-N-(phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanamine) has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques, and employed to synthesize two new μ1,1-azido/cyanato bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes, [Cu(L)(μ1,1-N3)(ClO4)]2 (1) and [Cu(L)(μ1,1-NCO)(ClO4)]2 (2). Both compounds have been spectroscopically and structurally characterized. Structural investigation reveals centro-symmetric nature of the complexes in which the center of inversion lies at the midpoint of the two copper(II) ions. The metal ions display distorted octahedral geometry. The tridentate neutral ligand L coordinates the metal…

Isolation of Four New CoII/CoIII and NiII Complexes with a Pentadentate Schiff Base Ligand: Syntheses, Structural Descriptions and Magnetic Studies

In this paper we report the temperature and pH dependent syntheses and systematic characterization of four new Co(II)/Co(III) and Ni(II) complexes with a pentadentate Schiff base ligand H(3)L obtained by condensing 1,3,-diaminopropan-2-ol with 2-hydroxyacetophenone in 1:2 molar ratio. The room temperature syntheses involving Co(II) and Ni(II) nitrates and the ligand H(3)L lead to the isolation of the dinuclear species [Co(2)L(2)(H(2)O)] (1), and the mononuclear complex [Ni(LH)] (3), respectively, whereas refluxing at basic pH leads to the tetranuclear complexes, [Co(II)(2)Co(III)(2)L(2)(μ(3)-OMe)(2)(NO(3))(H(2)O)(2)]NO(3)·2(H(2)O) (2), and [Ni(4)L(2)(μ(3)-OMe)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O (4). 1 is…
