Different topologies in heterometallic frameworks of copper(II) with Ni(CN)(4)(2-) bridging ligand: Syntheses, crystal structures, thermal and magnetic properties

摘要

Four cyano bridged Cu(II)-Ni(II) heterometallic complexes of general formula, [{Cu-2(L)(2)Ni(CN)(4)}(ClO4)(2) (.) xH(2)O](n) (for 1, L = bis (3-aminopropyl) methylamine = medpt and x = 2.5; for 2, L = N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine = aepn and x = 2; for 3, L = diethylenetriamine = then and x = 1), [Cu(medien)Ni(CN)(4)](n) (4) (medien = bis(2-aminoethyl)methylimine) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and low temperature magnetic study. In complexes 1-3, all the cyanide ligands of tetracyanonickelate(II) take part in bonding, connecting four adjacent copper(II) ions whereas in 4 trans-dicoordinated cyanide of Ni(CN)(4)(2-) links two Cu(II) ions only. We have already reported, as communication, the structural features of complex 1 and of its dehydrated species 1a. A different chain stereochemistry is detected in the related polymeric frameworks 1-3, mainly dictated by the orientation assumed by the ancillary tridentate L ligand. Thermogravimetric analyses and X-ray powder diffraction of complexes 1-3 reveal that the complexes retain their crystallinity upon removal of lattice water molecules. The magnetic studies of complexes 1-4 were performed in the 2-300 K temperature range. For all the complexes, the chi(M)T values from 300 to 60 K are very close and correspond to isolated Cu(II) ions with different average g values (> 2.00). From 60 to 2 K, chi(M)T values decrease indicating weak antiferromagnetic coupling. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
