Copper(II) complexes with (1R*,4S*)-1-N-morpholino-n-menth-8-en-4-one (HL), namely, [Cu-2(HL)(2)Cl-4] (I) and [Cu-2(HL)LCl3] . CH3CN (II), were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and EPR methods. The complexes have binuclear structures. In compound I, the coordination polyhedron of CuCl3N2 is a square pyramid in planar Cu2Cl2 metal cycle; the exchange couplings of unpaired electrons of Cu(II) ions are weak. Complex II incorporates polyhedra of CuCl2N2 (flattened tetrahedron) and of CuCl2N2O (trigonal bipyramid). The Cu2ClNO metal cycle is nonplanar with antiferromagnetic exchange coupling and exchange parameter -2J = 182 cm(-1). The EPR spectrum of compound I are analyzed.
