Abstract

Three novel mixed bridged trinuclear and one tetranuclear copper(II) complexes of tridentate NNO donor Schiff base ligands [Cu3(L1)21,1-N3)2(CH3OH)2(BF4)2] (1), [Cu3(L1)21,1-N3)2(μ-NO3-1κO:2κO′)2] (2), [Cu3(L2)21,1-N3)2(μ-NO3-1κO:2κO′)2] (3) and [Cu4(L3)21,1-N3)4(μ-CH3COO-1κO:2κO′)2] (4) have been synthesized by reaction of the respective tridentate ligands (L1 = 2-[1-(2-dimethylamino-ethylimino)-ethyl]-phenol, L2 = 2-[1-(2-diethylamino-ethylimino)-ethyl]-phenol, L3 = 2-[1-(2-dimethylamino-ethylimino)-methyl]-phenol) with the corresponding copper (II) salts in the presence of NaN3. The complexes are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and variable-temperature magnetic measurements. Complex 1 is composed of two terminal [Cu(L1)(μ1,1-N3)] units connected by a central [Cu(BF4)2] unit through nitrogen atoms of end-on azido ligands and a phenoxo oxygen atom of the tridentate ligand. The structures of 2 and 3 are very similar; the only difference is that the central unit is [Cu(NO3)2] and the nitrate group forms an additional μ-NO3-1κO:2κO′ bridge between the terminal and central copper atoms. In complex 4, the central unit is a di-μ1,1-N3 bridged dicopper entity, [Cu21,1-N3)2(CH3COO)2] that connects two terminal [Cu(L3)(μ1,1-N3)] units through end-on azido, phenoxo oxygen and μ-CH3COO-1κO:2κO′ triple bridges to result in a tetranuclear unit. Analyses of variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data indicates that there is a global weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the copper (II) ions in complexes 1–3, with the exchange parameter J of −9.86, −11.6 and −19.98 cm−1 for 1–3, respectively. In complex 4 theoretical calculations show the presence of an antiferromagnetic coupling in the triple bridging ligands (acetato, phenoxo and azido) while the interaction through the double end-on azido bridging ligand is strongly ferromagnetic.
