Effects of electron donating/withdrawing groups in the 5-substituted-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde on the synthesis of neutral cubanes with a NiII4O4core: synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties
Two tetranuclear cubane-like nickel(II) complexes of formula [Ni4(CH3O)4(L1)4(CH3OH)4] (1) and [Ni4(CH3O)4(L2)4(CH3OH)4] (2) (HL1 = 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and HL2 = 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde) have been prepared by the reaction of NiCl2·6H2O with methanolic solutions of HL1 and HL2 in the presence of triethylamine at room temperature. Complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed that 1 and 2 have a cubane-type structural topology with four Ni(II) ions and four methoxo-oxygen atoms regularly alternating at the corners. Each metal ion in 1 and 2 is six-coordinate in a distorte…
