The synthesis, crystal structure and magneto-structural correlations of three new paddle-wheel type dicopper(II) carboxylate complexes with pyridyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxides, [Cu-2(mu-Me3CCO2)(4)(NITpPy)(2)](C6H6) (1), [Cu-2(mu-CH3CO2)(4)(NITpPy)(2)] (2), and [Cu-2(mu-C6H6CH2CO2)(4)(NITmPy)(2)] (3) (NITpPy = 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(4-pyridyl)-2-imidazoline-N-1-oxyl N-3-oxide, NITmPy = 4,4,5, 5-tetramethyl-2-(3-pyridyl)-2-imidazoline-N-1-oxyl N-3-oxide) are reported. Structures of complexes 1-3 consist of a symmetrical dimeric Cu(II) carboxylate paddle-wheel core and pyridyl nitrogen atoms of radical ligands at the apical position. Cryomagnetic susceptibilities were measured in the temperature range 4-300 K. According to the structural results, the magnetic data are discussed in terms of four S = 1/2 spin units involving one strong coupled dicopper(II) unit plus two monomer nitroxyl radicals. It is found that two paddle-wheel copper(II) ions are strongly coupled antiferromagnetically with J = - 192, - 172, and - 160 cm(-1) for complexes 1, 2, and 3, respectively, while the interactions between copper(II) and the radicals are very weak. The magneto-structural correlations for complexes 1, 2, and 3 are discussed on the basis of the structural parameters and magnetic data for the complexes (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
