Using the pyridine dicarboxamide derivative N,N′-bis(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2,6-pyridinedi-carboxamide (H2-btapca) as ligand, two novel polynuclear complexes: dimeric {[Cu2(μ2-O2H)(btapca)2]·DMF·H2O} (1) and tetrameric {[Ni4((μ2-O2H)2(btapca)4)]·DMF·MeOH·3.5H2O} (2) were obtained. In complex 1, two center Cu(II) ions are bounded by two btapca ligands and one aqueous molecule acting as a μ2-H2O bridge connect them together. Complex 2 is a tetrameric complex, in which the based backbone is an assumed Ni4 tetrahedron with two μ2-O2H bridges existing inside the tetrahedron forming a basic [Ni2(μ2-O2H)]2 core, which are surrounded by four btapca ligands. The magnetic properties of the two polynuclear complexes were determined, the results show that for both of the two complexes, the overall weak ferromagnetic exchange interactions between central metal ions are evident, the best fitting parameters are: J = 7.47 cm−1 (g = 2.21) for dimeric Cu(II) complex 1, and 2J1 = 4.8 cm−1, 2J2 = −0.00204 cm−1(g = 2.14, zJ′ = 0.00077 cm−1) for tetrameric Ni(II) complex 2.
Graphical abstractBased on a pyridine dicarboxamide ligand, two polynuclear complexes: dimeric {[Cu2(μ2-O2H)(btapca)2]·DMF·H2O} (1) and tetrameric {[Ni4((μ2-O2H)2 (btapca)4)]·DMF·MeOH·3.5H2O} (2) were obtained. In these complexes, aqueous molecules acting as μ2-H2O bridge connect the adjacent metal ions together. The magnetic properties investigations show that both of the two complexes display overall ferromagnetic exchange interactions between the metal centers.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
