Synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic behavior of NiII–4f–NiII compounds
摘要:
We report here synthesis, crystal and molecular structures as well as magnetic measurement results for new heterotrinuclear Schiff base complexes having a general formula [Ni(2)Ln(L)(2)(CH3COO)(2)(MeOH)(2)]NO3 center dot 4H(2)O (where Ln = La-II (1) and Nd-III (2) and L = C19H18N2O4Br2 = N,N'-bis(5-bromo-3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropanato) and the mononuclear [NiL(H2O)(2)](3) complex. The Ni-II/4f compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n. The lanthanide(III) ion lies on the center of symmetry and is ten-coordinated forming pentagonal antiprism. Compound 3 crystallizes in orthorhombic space group Pnma with the molecule lying on the mirror plane. The complex 1 indicated a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the terminal Ni-II ions. The magnetic properties of 2 revealed that the Ni-II-Nd-III interaction is antiferromagnetic. The magnetic data for 3 show dominant zero-field splitting effect of Ni-II ions. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
