ChemInform Abstract: Magneto-Structural Correlations in Dimeric Copper(II) Carboxylates

For dimeric copper(II) carboxylates, the most important factor determining the strength of the spin superexchange interactions is the electronic structure of the carboxylato bridge. It also has been revealed that the trigonal bipyramidal deformation of the coordination geometry around the copper atoms, and the bending of the carboxylato bridge decrease the antiferromag-netic interactions.
