The crystal structure of [CuL2]. 2.5H(2)O . 0.5thf [L = 3-(4-pyridyl)p
entane-2,4-dionate; thf = tetrahydrofuran] has been solved; a small in
termolecular antiferromagnetic interaction between Cu sites implies th
at L would be useful in synthesising heterobimetallic and polymeric sp
ecies with interesting magnetic properties.
