Abstract
Copper(II) benzoate dimers and linear chains have been synthesized and exhibit very different magnetic behaviors. The benzoate dimers, 1a, show typical dimeric singlet-triplet transitions and strong antiferromagnetic coupling (JST = -206 K (-143 cm-1); H = -2JSTSa.Sb). The bromobenzoate dimer can be converted into linear chains of hydrogen-bonded monomers, showing 1-D ferromagnetic coupling (6a, theta = +9 K). Copper(II) sites can also be bridged by nitroxide-substituted benzoates, 1b and 1c, that is, 2-(4'-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl (NNBA, 3a), with JST = -216 K (-150 cm-1), with comparable interactions between the nitroxide and triplet Cu(II) spins, theta T = -157 K. A 1-D chain similar to the bromobenzoate monomers can also be produced with NNBA, also exhibiting ferromagnetic coupling (6b, theta = +0.67 K), albeit much weaker. Other nitroxides have been introduced into the Cu(II) dimer system by capping copper(II) acetate with the polydentate 2-(4'-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl (PYNN, 3b), which exhibits almost no coupling to the copper centers when both ends of the dimer are capped (1d, theta = -5.8 K). In contrast, strong coupling is observed when only one PYNN is used (2, theta = -300 K), which is the result of direct coordination of the nitroxide to the copper centers, producing a chain of the dimer units.This publication has 46 references indexed in Scilit:
