Allopurinol- and Hypoxanthine-Copper(II) Compounds. Spectral and Magnetic Studies of Novel Dinuclear Coordination Compounds with Bridging Hypoxanthine.
The synthesis in aqueous solution and pH = 1.0 of several novel Cu(II) compounds with allopurinol and hypoxanthine as heterocyclic ligands and X = Cl(-), Br(-), NO(3)(-), SO(4)(2-), and ClO(4)(-) as anions, together with their spectral and magnetic characterization, is reported. The studies of the Cu(II) systems with these heterocycles and Cl(-) or Br(-) support their Cu(II)(L)(2)(X)(2) character and their interactions through halogen atoms as bridging ligands, leading to a very weak antiferromagnetic coupling. For the Cu(II) compounds with hypoxanthine and X = NO(3)(-), SO(4)(-), or ClO(4)(-), new examples of the cupric acetate type are obtained, showing in all cases similar strong antiferromagnetic coupling. These three cases are new examples of the scarce Cu(II) dinuclear compounds with bridging hypoxanthine which have been reported up to now.
