Complementarity and countercomplementarity in polynuclear copper(II) complexes with R2NCH2CH(OH)CH2NR2 (R = H, CH3): crystal structures and magnetic study.
The syntheses, structural characterization and magnetic behavior of five new copper(II) polynuclear compounds with formulae [Cu4(mu2-CH3COO)2(mu-bdmap)2(micro(1,5)-dca)2(dca)2(H2O)2] 1, [Cu2(mu2-CH3COO)(mu-bdap)(mu(1,1,5)-dca)(mu(1,3)-dca)]n 2, [Cu4(mu2-CH3COO)2(mu-bdmap)2(mu(1,1)-NCS)2(NCS)2] 3, [Cu2(mu2-CH3COO)(mu-bdap)(NCS)2] 4 and [Cu2(mu(1,3)-N3)(mu-bdmap)(N3)2]n 5 in which bdmapH is 1,3-bis(dimethylamino)-2-propanol, bdapH is 1,3-bis(amino)-2-propanol and dca is the anionic dicyanamide ligand, are reported herein. Tetranuclear complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with unit cell parameters a = 8.284(8), b = 21.52(1), c = 11.432(3) A, beta = 105.19(2) degrees , Z = 2. Bi-dimensional complex 2 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1, with unit cell parameters a = 8.184(5), b = 8.792(2), c = 10.887(2) A, alpha = 75.65(2), beta = 76.55(3), gamma = 74.36(3) degrees , Z = 2. Tetranuclear complex 3 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1, with unit cell parameters a = 8.455(4), b = 9.114(9), c = 12.744(8) A, alpha = 104.62(8), beta = 99.86(6), gamma = 106.10(8) degrees, Z = 1. Dinuclear complex 4 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1, with unit cell parameters a = 8.15(1), b = 8.18(2), c = 11.44(1) A, alpha = 69.39(2), beta = 80.36(2), gamma = 80.37(2) degrees , Z = 2. One-dimensional complex 5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit cell parameters a = 20.45(4), b = 11.36(3), c = 6.43(1) A, Z = 4. The magnetic behavior of all the complexes has been checked giving a bulk antiferromagnetic coupling in all the cases with |J| values in the range 109-144 cm(-1) for 1-4. Compound 5 is diamagnetic in the 2-300 K range of temperatures. The found J values 1-5 for can be justified from the structural data taking into account the orbital countercomplementarity for 1-4 and the orbital complementarity for 5.
