Abstract
Two new dinuclear copper compounds, [Cu2(pypz) 2(N3)2(NO3)2] (1) and [Cu2(pypz)2(OH)2(NO3)2] (2), and one 1-D polymeric Cu(II) complex, [Cu(pypz)(dca)3] n (3) ['pypz' = (3,5dimethyl-1-(2′-pyridyl)pyrazole) and dca = (dicyanamide)], have been synthesized and characterized crystallographically and spectroscopically. Complex 1 is pseudo-octahedral, adjacent Cu atoms are connected by a pair of μ(1,1) azido groups and the structure is stabilized by π-π interactions between two pyridyl moieties from two different neighboring complex molecules. Complexes 2 and 3 are square pyramidal. The hydroxo bridged complex 2 is further stabilized through H-bonding. The 1-D polymeric chain of 3 is bridged by an end-to-end dicyanamide bridge and it propagates along the crystallographic b axis, whilst the polymer chains are stacked one upon another along the crystallographic c axis. Low temperature magnetic measurement shows that complexes 1 and 2 are ferromagnetic (J values are 30.81 and 14.79 cm-1, respectively), whereas due to larger Cu-Cu distances, complex 3 shows weak ferromagnetism.
