The crystal structures and magnetic properties of compounds [M-II(apo)(N(CN
)(2))(2)], where M=Co (1), Ni (2) or Mn (3), apo=2-aminopyridine N-oxide, h
ave been determined. The structural analyses revealed that they are isomorp
hous, and all belong to monoclinic space group P2(1)/n. The metal(II) ions
display distorted octahedral co-ordination, with four terminal N atoms of d
ifferent [N(CN)(2)](-) ligands and two O atoms of different apo ligands. Tw
o ions are bridged by two mu -O atoms to form a dimer subunit. Those dimers
are further linked to each other by [N(CN)(2)](-) resulting in a three-dim
ensional structure. The magnetic properties of the compounds were investiga
ted in the temperature range 2-300 K for 1 and 2 and 4-300 K for 3. The val
ues for the intradimer spin coupling constant J were estimated to be -17.8,
-40, -1.3 cm(-1) for 1-3, respectively, indicative of antiferromagnetic in
teraction.
