A 2D CuII complex containing ferromagnetically coupled 1D chain with threefold bridging ligands

A new 2D CuII complex [Cu(μ1,1-N3)(tp)(CH3OH)]n (tp = terephthalate) (1) has been synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. Single-crystal structural analysis shows that complex 1 consists of 1D CuII chains containing threefold bridging ligands, one μ-1,1-azido, one (syn–syn) terephthalate and one methanol, which are bridged via terephthalate anions to afford a 2D network. Magnetic measurements indicate that complex 1 exhibits intrachain ferromagnetic interaction with J = 63(2) cm−1.

A new 2D CuII complex [Cu(μ1,1-N3)(tp)(CH3OH)]n (tp = terephthalate) (1) containing one μ-1,1-azido, one (syn–syn) terephthalate and one methanol bridging ligands, has been synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. Magnetic measurements indicate that intrachain ferromagnetic and weak interchain antiferromagnetic coupling exist in complex 1.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
