The preparation and magnetic investigation of five mononuclear copper(II) complexes of formula [Cu(pyim)(C2O4)(H2O)]·2H2O (1), [Cu(pyim)(C4O4)(H2O)2]·2H2O (2), Cu(pyim)(C5O5)·2.5H2O (3), [Cu(H2bim)(C2O4)(H2O)]·H2O (4) and [Cu(bpz)(C5O5)(H2O)] (5) [pyim=2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole, H2bim=2,2′-biimidazole, bpz=2,2′-bipyrazine, C2O42−=dianion of oxalic acid, C4O42−=dianion of squaric acid and C5O52−=dianion of croconic acid] are reported. The crystal structures of 1, 2, 4 and 5 have been determined. The copper atom has a distorted square pyramidal geometry in this family of complexes: two nitrogen atoms from the bidentate nitrogen donor [pyim (1 and 2), H2bim (4) and bpz (5)] and two oxygen atoms e…

Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of copper(ii) dicyanamide complexes; dinuclear, chain and ladder compounds

The preparation, crystal structures and magnetic properties of three heteroleptic copper(II) complexes with dicyanamide (dca) bridges, [Cu(bpca)(H2O)(dca)]2 (1) (bpca = bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amidate), [Cu(bpy)(dca)2]n (2) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), [Cu2(bpm)(dca)4]n (3) (bpm = 2,2′-bipyrimidine) are reported. In addition, magnetic susceptibility measurements of the sheetlike polymer [Cu(phen)(dca)2] (4) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), structurally characterized previously, have been performed. In complex 1 pairs of mononuclear structural building blocks, [Cu(bpca)(dca)(H2O)], are loosely connected through a 1,3-dca bridge in which nitrile is equatorially bound and the amide is semi-coordinated …
