Abstract
- [Cu2(H4L)(OCH3)(H2O)] · 2MeOH (1) has been synthesized from the reaction of 2-hydroxy-5-methylisophthalaldehyde, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and copper(II) perchlorate in methanol with the Schiff-base polyhydroxyl ligand (H4L)3− formed in situ. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of 1 reveals a binuclear structure with Cu(II) asymmetrically bridged by a methoxo and a phenoxo group with Cu–O–Cu bridging angles of 102.93(7)° and 100.17(7)°, respectively. The binuclear Cu(II) moieties utilize the coordinated and noncoordinated alkoxyl groups for formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, thus affording a 3-D supramolecular structure. Variable temperature magnetic measurements reveal strong antiferromagnetic coupling in 1 with the 2J-value of −729 cm−1, which was mediated cooperatively by the methoxo and phenoxo bridges. Magneto-structural correlations are discussed based on the crystal structure. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
