Alternating Ferro/Antiferromagnetic Copper(II) Chain Containing an Unprecedented Triple Formato/Hydroxido/Sulfato Bridge.

2016

The first example of a triple formato/hydroxido/sulfato (FHS) bridge for any metal is reported in compound [Cu2(bpym)(OH)(HCO2)(SO4)(H2O)2]·3H2O (1). Its structure shows the presence of alternating triple FHS bridges and 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpym) ones. Although in the initial synthesis the sulfate anions were introduced accidentally, here we report the rational synthesis and the magnetic properties of this compound. The magnetic properties show that 1 is an alternating ferro/antiferromagnetic (F/AF) chain compound with predominant antiferromagnetic interactions and were fit to an alternating F/AF S = (1)/2 chain with g = 2.103, JAF = -139 cm(-1), and JF = 116 cm(-1) (α = JF/|JAF| = 0.83).

Coordinating behaviour of a new pyridylhydrazone; tris-complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) with 2-pyridylcarb…

1991

The preparation and characterization oftris-complexes of MnII, CoII, NiII, CuII and ZnII with a new pyridylhydrazone, 2-pyridylcarbaldehyde-N,N-dimethylhydrazone (pch), are described. In all the complexes pch behaves as a bidentate ligand binding through the pyridine and azomethyne nitrogen atoms. The complexes appear to be monomeric, high spin six-coordinate, and a distorted octahedral stereochemistry around the metal is suggested. The e.p.r. results for both CuII compounds indicate a mainly dx2−y2 ground state with a static Jahn-Teller distortion, whilst for the MnII complex the e.p.r. data indicates a very low symmetry for the MnN6 polyhedron.

2019

Abstract Two new Cu(II) complexes with bis(2-imidazolyl) based ligands, with the formula [Cu(BIM)2(SCN)2]·2H2O (BIM = bis(2-imidazol-2-yl)methane) and [Cu(HBIMAM)2(OH2)2](BF4)4·2H2O (BIMAM = bis(2-imidazol-2-yl)methylaminomethane) have been synthesized and characterized. Both compounds contain mononuclear entities as molecular building blocks (MBBs); neutral [Cu(BIM)2(SCN)2] in compound 1 and cationic [Cu(HBIMAM)2(OH2)2]4+ in compound 2. The coordination around the metal atoms shows a tetragonally-elongated octahedral geometry (CuN4S2 and CuN4O2 chromophores). The Q-band EPR spectra of both compounds are indicative of an essentially d x 2 - y 2 ground state for copper(II) ions. The analysis…

1997

Abstract The crystal structure of [Cu(mep)2Cl](BF4)[mep = 4-methoxy-2-(5-methoxy-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methylpyrimidine] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure is built up of [Cu(mep)2Cl]+ cations and BF4− anions. The structure of the cation involves a five-coordinated CuN4Cl chromophore, with a stereochemistry near to a compressed trigonal bypyramid (TBP) but with a significant degree of distortion towards the square pyramidal (SP) topology. The EPR spectrum is indicative of a mixed dz2/dx2 − y2 ground state for the copper(II) ions, in agreement with the structural data.

1984

Polymetallic solid solutions of the ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) and six divalent metal ions exist in the range: MgαMnβCoγZnδNieCuτ(EDTA) · 6H2O where α + β + γ + δ + e + τ=2, 0⩽τ⩽1, 0⩽γ,e,δ⩽2, 0⩽α, β⩽1. This type of structure is characterized by the presence of two different octahedral carboxylate-bridged coordination sites forming infinite zig-zag chains. Visible and i.r. spectra and t.g.a. analysis show that there is occupational preference for the two coordination sites in the crystalline structure. Due to this preference, and also to the structural features, the heterobimetallic MM′(EDTA) · 6H2O compounds constitute a structurally new class of materials which can be described …

Study of the thermal behaviour of ordered bimetallic EDTA complexes

1986

Abstract The study of the thermal behaviour of a family of isostructural ordered bimetallic MM'(EDTA)·6H 2 O complexes has been performed using TG and DTA. Formal kinetic analysis of the dehydration step has been approached using non-isothermal procedures. The resulting correlation among the calculated E a values and the cationic sizes implies a common dehydration mechanism. Copper-containing complexes show distinctive behaviour during the ligand pyrolysis processes. A mechanistic interpretation involving formation of Cu(I) and Cu(0) intermediates is furnished. The evolution of the inorganic residues in systems containing both Co and Ni is especially considered given the interest in the (Co…

The coordination polyhedron around the Cu atoms can be described as a rhombically-distorted octahedron (CuN2N′2N′'2 chromophores). Both electronic and e.p.r. spectra are indicative of an essentially d x2− y2 ground state for the CuII ions. No exchange coupling has been detected down to 4.2 K by means of magnetic susceptibility measurements. This feature is discussed on the basis of the structural data.

Abstract Copper(II) complexes of 2-di1H-2-imidazolylmethylmalonate (DIMMAL) have been studied by potentiometric methods. The data revealed that the CuHL 2 - and CuL 2 2 - species are prevalent in the studied pH range. Moreover, this paper reports the synthesis, structure solution and spectroscopic characterization of two new DIMMAL containing complexes, (NH4)2[Cu(DIMMAL)2] · 4H2O (1) and [Cu(DIMMAL)(en)(H2O)] · 5H2O (2). The structure of compound 1 consists of centrosymmetric mononuclear anionic [Cu(DIMMAL)2]2− units, NH 4 + cations and lattice water molecules, in which DIMMAL2− acts as a tridentate ligand through two imidazole nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom from a carboxylate group.

Coordinating behaviour of 3-methyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (tzpy): crystal and molecular structure and electronic properties of [Cu(tzpy)2(ONO2…

Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of [Cu(tzpy) 2 (ONO 2 ) 2 (OH 2 )] (tzpy=3-methyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5- a ]pyridine) has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal structure is built up of discrete [Cu(tzpy) 2 (ONO 2 ) 2 (OH 2 )] entities linked through hydrogen bonds. The coordination geometry around the copper atom can be described as an elongated and strongly distorted octahedron displaying a 4+1+1* coordination mode (CuN 2 O 2 O′O″ chromophore), with one of the nitrato groups acting as bidentate and involved in a weak off-the- z -axis coordination. Spectroscopic properties are interpreted on the basis of the above stereochemistry.
