A novel nonanuclear CuII carboxylate-bridged cluster aggregate with an S= 7/2 ground spin state.
The Cu(II) aggregate in [Cu(9)(cpida)(6)(MeOH)(6)].6(MeOH)[H(3)cpida = 2-(carboxyphenyl)iminodiacetic acid] is made up of two weakly ferromagnetically coupled carboxylate-bridged Cu(4) units that are antiferromagnetically linked through a central Cu(II) to give a Cu(9) core with an S= 7/2 spin ground state.
