Ferromagnetic Cu(II)4, Co(II)4, and Ni(II)6 azido complexes derived from metal-assisted methanolysis of di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine.
Reaction of copper(II) perchlorate with di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine (pyCOpyCOpy, dpcp) in the presence of sodium azide yields complex [Cu(4)(N(3))(2){pyC(OMe)(O)pyC(OMe)(O)py}(2)(MeOH)(2)](ClO(4)) x 2 MeOH (1 x 2 MeOH), which crystallizes in the monoclinic P2(1)/c space group. Similar reaction of cobalt(II) nitrate yields complex [Co(4)(N(3))(2)(NO(3))(2){pyC(OMe)(O)pyC(OMe)(O)py}(2)] x 0.5 MeOH (2 x 0.5 MeOH) which crystallizes in the monoclinic I2/m space group. Reaction of nickel(II) perchlorate yields complex [Ni(6)(CO(3))(N(3))(6){pyCOpyC(O)(OMe)py}(3)(MeOH)(2)(H(2)O)][Ni(6)(CO(3))(N(3))(6){pyCOpyC(O)(OMe)py}(3) (MeOH)(3)](ClO(4))(2) x 1.8 MeOH (3 x 1.8 MeOH), which crystallizes…
Hexanuclear iron(III) salicylaldoximato complexes presenting the [Fe6(mu3-O)2(mu2-OR)2]12+ core: syntheses, crystal structures, and spectroscopic and magnetic characterization.
The use of salicylaldehyde oxime (H2salox) in iron(III) carboxylate chemistry has yielded two new hexanuclear compounds [Fe6(mu3-O)2(O2CPh)10(salox)2(L)2].xMeCN.yH2O [L = MeCONH2, x = 6, y = 0 (1); L = H2O, x = 2, y = 3 (2)]. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with (at 25 degrees C) a = 13.210(8) A, b = 13.87(1) A, c = 17.04(1) A, alpha = 105.79(2) degrees , beta = 96.72(2) degrees , gamma = 116.69(2) degrees , V = 2578.17(2) A(3), and Z = 1. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with (at 25 degrees C) a = 21.81(1) A, b = 17.93(1) A, c = 27.72(1) A, beta = 111.70(2) degrees , V = 10070(10) A(3), and Z = 4. Complexes 1 and 2 contain the [Fe6(mu3-O)2(m…
