Abstract

A binuclear acylhydrazine bridged Cu(II) complex, [Cu2(L) (NO3)3(H2O)] (1), and an anti-orthogonal binuclear oxovanadium(V) complex, [V2O4(L)2] (2), have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically and crystallographically. The ligand HL has two potentially bridging functional groups (μ-O, μ-N-N) and consequently can exist in the following coordination conformers: (a) metal centers bridged by μ-O, (b) metal centers bridged by μ-N-N. A rare acylhydrazine bridged (a) type configuration exists in the dinuclear Cu(II) complex 1. The bridging ligand mediates a strong antiferromagnetic coupling (J = -99 cm-1). The exchange pathway parameters have also been evaluated from density functional theoretical calculations to corroborate the bridging signatures with experimental findings (J = -93.96 cm-1). Molecule 2 has a centrosymmetric structure with each vanadium center having a distorted octahedral geometry. It shows a one step irreversible reduction at +0.43 V. The bond angles, bond lengths and torsion angles in 2 are correlated with DFT.
