The reaction of aqueous solutions of the preformed 1: 1 Cu(ClO4)(2)-polydentate amine with tetrasodium 1,2,4,5-benzene tetracarboxylate (Na(4)bta) afforded three different types of polynuclear compounds. These include the tetranuclear complexes: [Cu-4(Medpt)(4)(mu(4)-bta)(ClO4)(2)(H2O)(2)](ClO4)(2)center dot 2H(2)O (1), [Cu-4(pmdien)(4)(mu(4)-bta)(H2O)(4)](ClO4)(4) (2), [Cu-4(Mepea)(4)(mu(4)-bta)(H2O)(2)](ClO4)(4) (3), [Cu-4(TPA)(4)(mu(4)-bta)](ClO4)(4)center dot 10H(2)O (4) and [Cu-4(tepa)(4)(mu(4)-bta)](ClO4)(4)center dot 2H(2)O (5), the di-nuclear: [Cu-2(DPA)(2)(mu(2)-bta)(H2O)(2)]center dot 4H(2)O (6), [Cu-2(dppa)(2)(mu(2)-bta)(H2O)(2)]center dot 4H(2)O (7) and [Cu-2(pmea)(2)(mu(2)-bta)]center dot 14H(2)O (8) and the trinuclear complex [Cu-3(dppa)(3)(mu(3)-bta)(H2O)(2.25)](ClO4)(2)center dot 6.5H(2)O (9) where Medpt = 3,3'-diamino-N-methyldipropylamine, pmedien = N, N, N', N '', N ''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, Mepea = [2-(2-pyridyl)-ethyl]-(2-pyridylmethyl) methylamine, TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl) amine, tepa = tris[2-(2-pyridyl) ethyl)] amine, DPA = di(2-pyridymethyl)amine, dppa = N-propanamide-bis(2-pyridylmethyl) amine and pmea = bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-[ 2-(2-pyridylethyl)] amine. The complexes were structurally characterized by elemental analyses, spectroscopic techniques, and by X-ray crystallography for complexes 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9. X-ray structure of the complexes reveal that bta(4) is acting as a bridging ligand via its four deprotonated caboxylate groups in 1, 2 and 4, three carboxylate groups in 9 and via two trans-carboxylates in 6 and 7. The complexes exhibit extended supramolecular networks with different dimensionality: 1-D in 2 and 4 due to hydrogen bonds of the type O-H center dot center dot center dot O, 2-D in 1 and 7, and 3-D network in 6 as a result of hydrogen bonds of the types N-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O. Magnetic susceptibility measurements showed very weak anti-ferromagnetic coupling between the Cu-II ions in 1-5, 7-9 (vertical bar J vertical bar = 0.02-0.87 cm(-1)) and weak ferromagnetic coupling for 6 (J = 0.08 cm(-1)).
