The synthesis and magnetic properties of four new (Cu-Ni)2 tetranuclear complexes of general formula (Cu(oxpn)Ni(mu-NCS)(H2O)(aa))2(X)2 (oxpn = N, N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)oxamide; aa = bidentate amine; X = CIO4- or PF6-) are presented. The antiferromagnetic coupling was given by the oxpn ligand while the ferromagnetic coupling was given by the thiocyanate anion. Using X-ray crystallography, the structures of three of these complexes were proven to be tetranuclear. Results indicate that in the new tetranuclear complexes, the antiferromagnetic coupling through the oxamidato bridge is dominant.

Furthermore, the positive charge of iron(II) was neutralized through the chelate anions.

A one-dimensional compound, (Mn(bipy)(N3)2) (bipy = 2,2'bipyridine) was synthesized and characterized structurally and in terms of its spectroscopic and magnetic properties. The results showed that the compound bears Mn(II) ions alternatively bridged by two end-on and two end-to-end azido ligands, a conformational property that is responsible for the observed ability of the compound to undergo alternating ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions.

The preparation and characterization of (Ni(1,3-diamino-2,2-dimethylpropane)2(mu-N3))n(PF6)n and (Ni(1,3-diaminopropane)2(mu-N3))n(PF6)n are discussed. The two nickel(II) trans-monodimensional, antiferromagnetically-coupled azide-bridged complexes, both of which crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pnmn, exhibit similar structures at room temperature but become unstable at low temperatures due to a change in the magnetic susceptibility caused by phase transition.

A trinuclear nickel(II) complex with strong antiferromagnetic coupling, (mu(sub 3)-CO3)(Ni3(Medpt)3(NCS)4), exhibits a new asymmetric coordination mode of three nickel atoms bonded by a single pentadentate carbonato ligand.

The magnetic properties of the complex show axial zero-field splitting of the Mn(III) at mild temperatures, which are greatly influenced by Jahn-Teller distortions.

The synthesis and characterization of the copper(II) trinuclear micro3-CO(sub3)(super 2-) system (micro-CO3)Cu3(Medpt)3(ClO4)3(ClO4) is described.

Two nickel(II) polynuclear end-to-end azide bridge compounds, (NiL2{mu-N3})n(ClO4)n (1) and (NiL{mu-N3})n(PF6)n (2), where L = 1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane, was synthesized and characterized. Both their structures are similar but their magnetic behaviors are different. This is due to the greater compactness formed by the perchlorate anion and the difference magnetic pathways. In this, d(sub xy)-d(sub xy) exhibits the antiferromagnetism in 1 while the mixing of d(sub xy)-d(sub xy) + d(sub xy)-d(sub z)2 diminishes the antiferromagnetism in 2.

Solid state cadmium 113 NMR spectroscopy facilitates the characterization of cadmium-sulfur complexes. Shielding tensor functional variables eta and delta sigma referring to the asymmetry and anisotropy respectively, are related to the stereochemistry surrounding cadmium. Cadmium atom in CdS2Br2 and CdS2N2...Br2 sites of one particular Cd-S complex is surrounded by coordination geometry. The major shielding tensor for every Cd environment is inclined and has a magnitude characteristic of the structural features surrounding the Cd atom. The variation in tensor components is directly proportionate to the changes in stereochemistry.

The X-ray analysis is used to study the composition of five new trinuclear Cu(II) complexes. The crystals of the complexes are found to be orthorhombic, triclinic and monoclinic. Coplanar basal planes with square-planar copper(II) ions are seen in ((N,N,N', N'-tetramethylethylenediamine)Cu2)2 (mu-Cu(pba))(ClO4)2 where Cu(pba) is 1, 3-propanediylbis(oxamato)cuprate(II).

Two differing catena formulas have been used to prepare and examine two novel monodimensional (mu-azido) nickel(II) complexes. The monoclinic crystalline structure of (C7H20N7Ni)n(ClO4)n and the orthorhombic crystalline structure of (C8H22N7Ni)n(ClO4)n reveal varying space group values. The mu-azido groups are in trans positions in both complexes, and the nickel atoms are positioned in an octahedral surrounding. The heat changes the molar susceptibility, revealing the magnetic characteristics of the complexes which are similar to those of an antiferromagnetically coupled nickel(II) standard chain. A sequence of analogous processes reveals the magneto-structural correlations.

A new dinuclear species consisting of 2 N3- bridges is synthesized by employing several bidentate amines as blocking ligands for each Ni(II) ion. This is aimed at extending the magneto-structural correlations in dinuclear or Co(II) complexes, characterized by azido bridges, to Ni (II) compounds. The magnetic properties of the three new Ni(II) dinuclear azide-bridged compounds are analyzed by determining the susceptibility function of temperature. An antiferromagnetic behaviour results from 1, 3-coordination of Ni(II) ions while 1,3-coordination gives rise to ferromagnetic coupling.
