Zh. Jiang et al., CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE AND MAGNETIC-BEHAVIOR OF A TRINUCLEAR COPPER(II) COMPLEXES WITH BRIDGING NITRONYL NITROXIDES, Transition metal chemistry, 20(2), 1995, pp. 136-137
[Cu(hfac)(2)](3)(NITR)(2) (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate, NITR = 2-
R-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, R = 4-methoxyphenyl)
has been prepared and its crystal structure determined. In the centros
ymmetric complex, the central copper atom has an elongated octahedral
geometry, the terminal ones square pyramidal. The magnetic measurement
s of the complex show that the metal-radical coupling is antiferromagn
etic.
