Copper(II) complexes of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine and 2-aminopyrazine: Strategies for designing crystalline materials using coordination polymers
摘要:
Reaction of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine (3-atz) or 2-aminopyrazine (2-apz) with Cu(hfac)(2)center dot xH(2)O led to the formation of the monometallic and trimetallic complexes Cu(hfac)(2)(3-atz)(2) (1), Cu-3(hfac)(6)(3-atz)(2) (2), Cu(hfac)(2)(2-apz)2 (3) and Cu-3(hfac)(6)(2-apz)(2) (4). The azine molecules behave as both monodentate and bridging bidentate ligands. The Cu(II) ions exhibit a range of coordination geometries. In 1 and 3, the complex is distorted octahedral with the Jahn-Teller axis lying along one of the O-Cu-O axes. In 2 and 4, the central Cu( II) ion is also distorted octahedral with the Jahn-Teller axis lying along the N-Cu-N axis, while the terminal Cu(II) ions are five-coordinate. Structure analysis reveals that addition of the amino-substituent makes the ligands more coordinating, leading to shorter CuAN bonds. In the case of 4, this results in a stronger magnetic superexchange pathway and the complex exhibits antiferromagnetic behavior at low temperatures. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
