Abstract: | Two copper(II) complexes Cu4(L1)4] (1) and Cu2(phen)2(HL2)2] (ClO4)2 (2) have been synthesized from two potentially tridentate ligands N-(2-hydroxybenzyl) propanolamine (H2L1) and N-(2-hydroxybenzyl) ethanolamine (H2L2). X-ray analyses revealed that 1 contains a Cu4O4 cubane core, with each two Cu(II) atoms bridged by a pair of alkoxides; 2 has a bis(μ2-phenoxo)-bridged dicopper(II) structure. Variable temperature magnetic measurements of 1 have revealed that the correlation between 2J and the bridge angles φ for 1 shows a very strong antiferromagnetic tendency, i.e. the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions cross at the φ of 94.5°. The relatively weak antiferromagnetic interactions (2J=−226.8 cm−1) with respect to the bridge angles (φ=100.4°) for 2 have been ascribed to the pyramidal distortions at the phenoxide oxygen atoms in addition to the unfavorable overlaps of the magnetic orbitals for the highly distorted copper coordination polyhedra. |
