A Novel Mixed Ligand Dinuclear Complex of Cobalt (II): Synthesis, Characterization and Magnetic Studies

摘要

A novel dinuclear complex [Co2(atr)3(mal)2(H2O)2]·4H2O(1) (atr = 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole and mal = malonic acid) containing mixed N and O-donor atoms has been prepared and structurally characterized. The structure is made up of the symmetrically 1, 2, 4-triazole bridged [Co2(atr)3(mal)2(H2O)2] moiety and four lattice water molecules. The single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the complex has a distorted octahedral structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveals that antiferromagnetic interactions exists between the high spin Co(II) ions within the dinuclear unit.
