L. Li et al., Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of di-carboxylato-bridged complex [Cu-2(phen)(2)(Hpht)(2)(NO3)(H2O)]NO3 center dot 2H(2)O, POLYHEDRON, 19(26-27), 2000, pp. 2529-2532
The binuclear complex [Cu-2(phen)(2)(Hpht)(2)(NO3)(H2O)]NO3. 2H(2)O (Hpht =
hydrogen phthalate and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized an
d structurally characterized. The structure consists of unsymmetrical di-mu
-carboxylato-bridged [Cu-2(phen)(2)(Hpht)(2)(NO3)(H2O)](+) cation, one NO3
- anion and two H2O solvate molecules. The temperature dependence of the ma
gnetic susceptibilities of the complex have been studied in the range 5-300
K, giving the exchange coupling parameter J= -79.2 cm(-1), indicating a mo
derately strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the copper(II) ions w
ithin the binuclear unit. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserve
