Rn. Patel et Kb. Pandeya, SYNTHESIS, MAGNETIC-MOMENTS AND X-BAND EPR-SPECTRA OF BINUCLEAR AND TRINUCLEAR COPPER(II) COMPLEXES, Transition metal chemistry, 22(2), 1997, pp. 132-134
The imidazole-bridged binuclear copper(II) complex, [(Cl)(2)(imH)(2)Cu
(imH)(2)Cu(bipy)(Cl)(2)] and the trinuclear copper (II) complex [(Cl)(
2)(bipy)Cu(imH)(2)Cu(imH)(2)Cu(bipy)(Cl)(2)] have been synthesized by
direct coupling between [Cu(imH)(4)(Cl)(2)] and [Cu(bipy)Cl-2] in the
appropriate stoichiometric ratios. The complexes show subnormal magnet
ic moments and e.p.r. spectra, characteristic of the triplet state. Th
e antiferromagnetic coupling constant, J, has been obtained for both t
he complexes.
