title: The first mu3-oxalato-bridged copper complex with tridentate Schiff base ligand N-ethyl-N'-salicylidene-1,2-diaminoethane: synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties.
abstract: The first mu(3)-oxalato-bridged copper(II) complex, [[Cu(3)(L)(3)(mu(3)-C(2)O(4))][Cu(L)(H(2)O)](ClO(4))(2)] x 0.5(H(2)O) x 0.5(CH(3)OH), where HL = N-ethyl-N'-salicylidene-1,2-diaminoethane, has been synthesized and characterized by variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement. The complex exhibits ferromagnetic coupling between the oxalato-bridged copper atoms and antiferromagnetic coupling between the oxygen-bridged copper atoms.
