New polydentate open structure ligands H(3)L1 and H(3)L2 were synthesized by the condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-tert-butylphenol and corresponding N-R-o-phenylenediamines (R = Ac and R = Boc). Treating of the ligands with copper trimethylacetate leads to binuclear copper complexes with dissimilar Cu(2)O(2) cores, the structures of which were solved by X-ray diffraction analysis. The electrochemical properties of both complexes were studied; the observed redox transitions were assigned to specific redox-active sites of the molecule. These assignments were confirmed by DFT calculations of the electronic structure of binuclear complexes. Both complexes exhibit anti-ferromagnetic behaviour, as confirmed by variable-temperature magnetic studies. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
