An Extended Metal Chain with the 2,7‐Bis(dipyridyldiamino)‐1,8‐naphthyridine (H
4
bdpdany) Ligand – The Longest Even‐Numbered Metal Chain Complex
摘要:
AbstractA decanickel extended metal atom chain (EMAC) complex with a new pyridyl‐ and naphthyridyl‐modulated ligand (H4bdpdany) was synthesized. Analysis of the crystal structure of complex [Ni10(μ10‐bdpdany)4(NCS)2](PF6)2 (1) shows that all of the bdpdany4– ligands bind the metal in an all‐syn conformation, and structural data reveals short Ni···Ni distances in the range 2.36–2.23 Å. Temperature‐dependent magnetic measurements performed on two independent high‐spin nickel(II) ions of complex [Ni10(μ10‐bdpdany)4(NCS)2](PF6)2 (1) demonstrate that the metal chain is antiferromagnetic. The longer distance between the two terminal high‐spin nickel(II) ions relative to those in tetranickel and hexanickel strings causes a decrease in the magnitude of the antiferromagnetic interaction.
