Four new trinuclear copper(II) complexes, [Cu(phen)(NBzIm)] (ClO4) (1)
, [Cu(bpy)(NBzIm) ] (ClO4) (2), [Cu(Me2-bpy)(NBzIm)](Ac).1/2H2O (3) an
d [Cu(Me2-bpy)(Im)](ClO4).1/2H2O (4) (phen=1,10-phenanthroline, bpy =
2,2'-bipyridine, NBzIm = 6-nitrobenzimidazolate ion, Im = imidazolate
ion) have been prepared and characterized by variable temperature magn
etic susceptibility measurements. A weak antiferromagnetic spin exchan
ge interaction operates between copper(II) ions, exchange integrals ev
aluated as J = -23.82 cm-1 for (1) and J = -21.91 cm-1 for (2).
