2018
A family of MnIIILnIII strictly dinuclear complexes of general formula [MnIII(μ-L)(μ-OMe)(NO3)LnIII(NO3)2(MeOH)] (LnIII = Gd, Dy, Er, Ho) has been assembled in a one pot synthesis from a polydentate, multipocket aminobis(phenol)ligand [6,6'-{(2-(1-morpholyl)ethylazanediyl)bis(methylene)}bis(2-methoxy-4-methylphenol)], Mn(NO3)2·4H2O, Ln(NO3)3· nH2O, and NEt3 in MeOH. These compounds represent the first examples of fully structurally and magnetically characterized dinuclear MnIIILnIII complexes. Single X-ray diffraction studies reveal that all complexes are isostructural, consisting of neutral dinuclear molecules where the MnIII and LnIII metal ions, which exhibit distorted octahedral MnN2O4 …

2012
The bis(μ-dialkoxo)-bridged trinuclear copper(II) complexes [Cu(3)(ap)(4)(ClO(4))(2)EtOH] (1), [Cu(3)(ap)(4)(NO(3))(2)] (2), [Cu(3)(ap)(4)Br(2)] (3) and [Cu(3)(ae)(4)(NO(3))(2)] (4) (ae = 2-aminoethanolato and ap = 3-aminopropanolato) have been synthesised via self-assembly from chelating aminoalcohol ligands with the corresponding copper(II) salts. The complexes are characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and variable temperature magnetic measurements. The crystal structures of complexes 1-4 consist of slightly bent linear or linear trinuclear [Cu(3)(aa)(4)](2+) (aa = aminoalcoholato) units to which the perchlorate, nitrate or bromide anions are weakly coordinated. The a…

Five new neutral bis(μ-phenoxido)dicopper(II) complexes, [Cu2(μ-HL1)2]·3EtOH·H2O (1), [Cu2(μ-HL2)2]·1.65H2O (2), [Cu2(μ-HL3)2(μ-H2O)] (3), [Cu2(μ-HL4)2] (4) and [Cu2(μ-HL5)2(μ-H2O)] (5), were prepared from a family of ω-[bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)amino]alkan-1-ol ligands (H3L1–H3L5 derived from 2-aminoethanol, 3-aminopropanol, 4-aminobutanol, 5-aminopentanol and 6-aminohexanol, respectively) bearing a [O,N,O,O′] donor set. In complexes 3 and 5, there is also a bridging water molecule between the metallic centres. The copper(II) coordination planes of all these complexes form a roof-like structure (the bridging O atoms are located at the top of the roof). The structural differences fo…

2012
Five acetate-diphenoxo triply-bridged Co-II-Ln(III) complexes (Ln(I) = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) of formula [Co(mu-L)(mu-Ac)Ln(NO3)(2)] and two diphenoxo doubly-bridged Co-II-Ln(III) complexes (Ln(III) = Gd, Tb) of formula [Co(H2O)(mu-L)Ln(NO3)(3)]center dot S (S = H2O or MeOH), were prepared in one pot reaction from the compartmental ligand N,N',N ''-trimethyl-N,N ''-bis(2-hydroxy3-methoxy-5-methylbenzyl)diethylene triamine (H2L). The diphenoxo doubly-bridged Co-II-Ln(III) complexes were used as platforms to obtain 1,5-dicyanamide-bridged tetranuclear Co-II-Ln(III) complexes (Ln(III) = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er). All exhibit ferromagnetic interactions between the Co-II and Ln(III) ions and in the case …
Dinuclear alkoxo-bridged copper(II) coordination polymers: Syntheses, structural and magnetic properties
2010
Abstract The alkoxo-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes [Cu2(ap)2(NO2)2] (1), [Cu2(ap)2(C6H5COO)2] (2) and [Cu2(ap)2μ-1,3-C6H4(COO)2(dmso)2]·dmso (3) (ap = 3-aminopropanolato and dmso = dimethyl sulfoxide) have been synthesized via self-assembly from copper(II) perchlorate, 3-aminopropanol as main chelating ligand and nitrite and isophthalate anions as spacers and benzoate anion as auxiliary ligand. Complexes 1 and 3 crystallize as 2D and 1D coordination polymers, respectively, and their structures consist of dinuclear [Cu2(ap)2]2+ units connected with nitrite and isophthalate ligands. The adjacent dinuclear units of 2 and 1D polymers of 3 are further connected by hydrogen bonds resultin…
A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study on Bis(μ‐alkoxo)diiron(III) Complexes with Hydroxybenzylaminoethanol [O,N,O] Donor Ligands: Syntheses, …
2011
Three new neutral bis(μ-alkoxo)diiron(III) complexes were prepared from N(R),N-(2-methylene-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol)aminoethan-1-ol ligands (H2L1, R = Me and H2L2, R = H). In these complexes, the ligand wraps around the metal center exhibiting a tridentate facial coordination mode with alkoxo-bridging oxygen, amine nitrogen and phenoxo oxygen donor atoms. In the complex [Fe(acac)L1]2·MeCN (1) acetylacetonato coligand complete the distorted octahedral coordination spheres of the iron(III) ions, whereas in the five-coordinate iron(III) chloride complexes [FeClL1]2 (2) and [FeClL2]2 (3) the ligands induce a geometry that is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal. Magnet…

The reaction between Hmbpymca ligand (prepared in situ from the hydrolysis of 5-methyl-4-cyano-bispyrimidine with NaOH and further neutralization with 2 M HCl) and Mn(ClO(4))(2)·4H(2)O in 1:1 molar ratio afforded the triangulo-trimanganese(II) complex [Mn(3)(bpymca)(3)(H(2)O)(6)]Cl(3)·6H(2)O 1. The chloride anions in this complex come from the HCl used in the neutralization process. The molecular structure of 1 consists of cationic molecular triangles [Mn(3)(μ-mbpymca)(3)(H(2)O)(6)](3+) with C(3) symmetry, chloride anions and crystallization water molecules, all of them involved in an extensive network of hydrogen bonds, leading to a chiral network. Within the [Mn(3)(μ-mbpymca)(3)(H(2)O)(6)…
Discrete unusual mixed-bridged trinuclear CoIII2CoII and pentanuclear NiII coordination complexes supported by a phenolate-based ligand: theoretical …
2021
Two new complexes [CoIII2CoII(μ-OL)2(μ-OOCCH3)2(μ-N3)2(N3)2]·Et2O (1·Et2O) and [NiII5(μ-OL)4(μ-OOCCH3)2(OOCCH3)2(μ-N3)2]·CH3CN (2) (HOL = 2-((2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylamino)methyl)phenol) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Structural analysis revealed that 1 is a discrete trinuclear and 2 is a discrete pentanuclear coordination complex. In complex 1, terminal metal (CoIII) is in a distorted octahedral MN4O2 environment where coordination is satisfied by two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom of the ligand, and an oxygen atom from the acetate group and two nitrogen atoms from azide (one each from the bridging and terminal ones). The centra…

The reaction of H(2)L (N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzyl)-ethylenediamine) with different copper salts, in methanol and using a H(2)L/Cu = 2 : 3 molar ratio, led to four new bis(μ-diphenoxo)-bridged Cu(3) complexes of general formula [{Cu(S)(μ-L)}(2)Cu(H(2)O)(2n)]X(2) (S = CH(3)OH, n = 1 and X = BF(4)(-) for (1) or ClO(4)(-) for (2); S = Br(3)(-) anion and n = 1 without any X species for (3); S = H(2)O, n = 0 and X = NO(3)(-) for (4)). The use in the same reaction conditions of 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy) as connector led to the chain complex [{Cu(μ-4,4'-bipy)(0.5)(μ-L)}(2)Cu(H(2)O)(2n)](ClO(4))(2)·17H(2)O (5). The structure of the centrosymmetric trinuclear unit in …

The reaction of Kpymca (pymca = pyrimidine-2-carboxylato anion) with MX2·6H2O and tmda (N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) in 1 : 3 : 3 molar ratio, using a MeOH/water mixture (3 : 1) as solvent, afforded the hexanuclear complexes [M6(µ-pymca)6(tmda)6]X6·4H2O (M = NiII, X = ClO4−1, BF4−2; M = CoII, X = ClO4−3). The reaction of pymca with either Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O or Cu(BF4)2·6H2O did not lead to any definite product. However, in the presence of strong coordinating chloride anions the linear tetranuclear complex [Cu4(µ-pymca)3Cl(H2O)](ClO4)4·4.5H2O 4 could be obtained. The structures of 1–3 are very similar and consist of wheel-shaped hexanuclear [M6(µ-pymca)6(tmda)6]6+ cations, with pseudo-D…
Two C3-symmetric Dy3 III complexes with triple di-μ-methoxo-μ-phenoxo bridges, magnetic ground state, and single-molecule magnetic behavior
2014
Two series of isostructural C3-symmetric Ln3 complexes Ln3·[BPh4] and Ln3·0. 33[Ln(NO3)6] (in which LnIII=Gd and Dy) have been prepared from an amino-bis(phenol) ligand. X-ray studies reveal that LnIII ions are connected by one μ2-phenoxo and two μ3-methoxo bridges, thus leading to a hexagonal bipyramidal Ln3O5 bridging core in which LnIII ions exhibit a biaugmented trigonal-prismatic geometry. Magnetic susceptibility studies and ab initio complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations indicate that the magnetic coupling between the DyIII ions, which possess a high axial anisotropy in the ground state, is very weakly antiferromagnetic and mainly dipolar in nature. To redu…

2013
Sequential reaction of a N5O3 octadentate tripodal ligand with Ni(2+) and subsequently with Cu(2+) and azide ligand afforded the first example of a heterobridged (phenoxo/μ(1,1)-azido) pentanuclear heterometallic (Ni4Cu) compound, which exhibits a centrosymmetric vertex-sharing defective double-cubane structure. The study of the magnetic properties reveals that the compound shows ferromagnetic interaction interactions, leading to an S = 9/2 spin ground state. Density functional theory calculations on the X-ray structure and model compounds predict ferromagnetic interactions through the magnetic exchange pathways involving each couple of metal ions.
Single-molecule magnet behavior and magnetocaloric effect in ferromagnetically coupled LnIII-NiII-NiII-LnIII (LnIII = DyIII and GdIII) linear complex…
2014
New types of linear tetranuclear LnIII-NiII-NiII-LnIII (LnIII = Dy (1), Gd (2)) complexes have been prepared using the multidentate ligand N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-diaminobenzene, which has two sets of NO and OO′ coordination pockets that are able to selectively accommodate NiII and LnIII ions, respectively. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that the NiII ions are bridged by phenylenediimine groups forming a 12-membered metallacycle in the central body of the complex, whereas the LnIII ions are located at both sides of the metallacycle and linked to the NiII ions by diphenoxo bridging groups. Phenylenediimine and diphenoxo bridging groups transmit ferromagnetic exchange intera…
Ferromagnetic dinuclear mixed-valence Mn(II)/Mn(III) complexes: building blocks for the higher nuclearity complexes. structure, magnetic properties, …
2013
A series of six mixed-valence Mn(II)/Mn(III) dinuclear complexes were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The reactivity of the complexes was surveyed, and structures of three additional trinuclear mixed-valence Mn(III)/Mn(II)/Mn(III) species were resolved. The magnetic properties of the complexes were studied in detail both experimentally and theoretically. All dinuclear complexes show ferromagnetic intramolecular interactions, which were justified on the basis of the electronic structures of the Mn(II) and Mn(III) ions. The large Mn(II)-O-Mn(III) bond angle and small distortion of the Mn(II) cation from the ideal square pyramidal geometry were shown to enhance the ferromag…
