Syntheses, crystal structures and electronic properties of [Cu(bipym)(C4O4)(H2O)3]·2H2O and [Cu2(bipym)(C4O4)2(H2O)6](bipym = 2,2′-bipyrimidine)
摘要:
Two new mixed-ligand complexes [Cu(bipym)(C4O4)(H2O)(3)]. 2H(2)O 1 and [Cu-2(bipym)(C4O4)(2)(H2O)(6)] 2 [bipym = 2.2'-bipyrimidine and C4O42- = dianion of squaric acid (3,4-dihydroxycyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione)] have been obtained from aqueous solutions containing Cu(NO3)(3) . 3H(2)O, bipym and Li-2[C4O4] in 1:1:0.25 and 2:1:0.5 (Cu2+:bipym:C4O42-) molar ratio, respectively. The structures of both complexes have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Compound 1 consists of mononuclear [Cu(bipym)(C4O4)(H2O)(3)] units in which the copper atom exhibits a slightly distorted elongated-octahedral co-ordination with two bipym nitrogens, one squarate oxygen and one water oxygen forming the equatorial plane, and two water molecules in the axial positions. The structure of 2 is built by centrosymmetric- bipym-bridged dinuclear [Cu-2(bipym)(C4O4)(2)(H2O)(6)] units, the geometry of each copper atom being similar to that found in 1. Squarate acts as a monodentate ligand in both compounds whereas bipym exhibits chelating and bis(chelating) co-ordination modes in 1 and 2, respectively. The intramolecular metal-metal separation in 2 [5.542(1) Angstrom] is the largest found in bipym-bridged copper(ii) complexes. The magnetic behaviour of 2 has been investigated over the temperature range 10-300 K. Fitting of the magnetic susceptibility data for 2 by a simple Bleaney-Bowers expression yields a value for the singlet-triplet energy gap (J) of -139 cm(-1). The magnitude of the observed antiferromagnetic interaction is the smallest found in bipym-bridged copper(II) complexes for which the sigma in-plane exchange pathway is operative. Extended-Huckel calculations have been used to analyse how the magnitude of the exchange coupling is influenced by small structural distortions in this family of complexes.
