Long-distance magnetic coupling in dinuclear copper(II) complexes with oligo-para-phenylenediamine bridging ligands

2010

Abstract Two novel dinuclear copper(II) complexes of formulae [Cu2(tren)2(bpda)](ClO4)4 (2) and [Cu2(tren)2(tpda)](ClO4)4 (3) containing the tripodal tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) terminal ligand and the 4,4′-biphenylenediamine (bpda) and 4,4″-p-terphenylenediamine (tpda) bridging ligands have been synthesized and structurally, spectroscopically, and magnetically characterized. Their experimentally available electronic spectroscopic and magnetic properties have been reasonably reproduced by DFT and TDDFT calculations. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 2 shows the presence of dicopper(II) cations where the bpda bridging ligand adopts a bismonodentate coordination mode toward two …
