Rn. Patel et al., Synthesis, magnetic and spectral properties of binuclear imidazolate bridged copper(II)-copper(II) and copper(II)-zinc(II) complexes, J INDIAN CH, 78(1), 2001, pp. 6-8
Two new binuclear imidazolate bridged complexes, [(PAN)Cu(im)Cu(PAN)](ClO4)
(2) and [(PAN)Cu(im)Zn(PAN)](ClO4)(2) (PAN = 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2- naphthol,
im = imidazolate) have been prepared. Room temperature magnetic susceptibil
ity of [(PAN)Cu(im)Cu(PAN)](ClO4)(2) reveals the presence of intramolecular
antiferromagnetic interactions through the imidazolate bridge. X-and EPR s
pectra of some Cu-II mononuclear and Cu-Zn binuclear complexes have been re
ported. In solution (100%, DMSO, LNT), the imidazolate bridge of the comple
x [(PAN)Cu(im)Zn(PAN)(2+) breaks on zinc side. The formation of mononuclear
rind binuclear complexes has been confirmed by spectrometry.
