Dipyrimidine-copper(II) dinitrate complexes showing magnetic interactions

Abstract: Crystals of CuII(NO3)2(pm)3 (1), and two crystalline forms of CuII(NO3)2(H2O)2(pm)2, (2) and (3), showed ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic interactions at extremely low temperatures, respectively. Crystal structure analyses revealed that the complexes were catena-dinitrato[[bold mu]-pyrimidine-[bold kappa]N1:[bold kappa]N3]-(pyrimidine-N1)copper(II), [Cu(NO3)2(pm)2]n, catena-diaquadinitrato[[bold mu]-pyrimidine-[bold kappa]N1:[bold kappa]N3]copper(II), [Cu(NO3)2(H2O)2(pm)]n, and diaquadinitratodipyrimidinecopper(II), Cu(NO3)2(H2O)2(pm)2 for (1), (2) and (3), respectively. In (1) the Cu atom is coordinated by the two nitrates and N atoms of the non-bridging pyrimidine and bridging pyrimidine to form a one-dimensional coordination polymer. The complex is a five-coordinated square pyramid and can be regarded as a pseudo-seven-coordinated complex, since other short non-bonding Cu...O contacts are observed. In the crystals of (2) the pyrimidine bridges the Cu atoms to form a one-dimensional coordination chain. On the other hand, complex (3) is not a coordination polymer. It is important to form a coordination polymer for the appearance of the magnetic interactions. Types of coordination of the bridging organic moieties should also play an important role in magnetic properties. Magnetic measurements of (1) and (2) show that they are good examples of uniform S = 1/2 ferro- and antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with exchange parameters 2J/kB = +1.8 and -36  K, respectively.
