A novel two-dimensional copper(II)-radical complex [Cu(NITmPy)_2(N_3)_2]_n: structure and magnetic properties

摘要

A two-dimensional copper(II)-radical complexes [Cu(NITmPy)_2(N_3)_2]_n (NITmPy = 2-(3'-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) has been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure consists of neutral polymeric sheets in which each copper atom is bridged by the oxygen and nitrogen atoms of the NITmPy radical ligands. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data show that the complex exhibits ferromagnetic interactions. The magnetic behavior is discussed in connection with the crystal structure.
