A dissymmetric exogenous bridging ligand provides access to a heterometallic [NiIICuII] complex held together by a symmetric compartmental ligand; the complex is chiral and, as a result of ferromagnetic coupling, it exhibits an S=3/2 spin ground state, the EPR of which has been simulated.

In the title homochiral three-dimensional heterometallic complex, [AgSm(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(3)(C(2)H(3)O(2))](n), the eight-coordinate Sm(III) ion displays a bicapped trigonal-prismatic geometry, being coordinated by two O atoms from one acetate ligand, four O atoms from four bridging isonicotinate ligands and two O atoms from two terminal isonicotinate ligands. The four-coordinate Ag(I) ion adopts ...

The first metal coordination complex of a radical ligand based on the 1,2,3-dithiazolyl heterocycle is reported. 6,7-Dimethyl-1,4-dioxo-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]dithiazolyl acts as a bridging ligand in the volatile trinuclear Mn(hfac)(2)-Rad-Mn(hfac)(2)-Rad-Mn(hfac)(2) complex (hfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonato-). The Mn(II) and radical ligand spins are coupled anti-ferromagnetically (AF...

The initial employment of the fluorescent bridging ligand naphthalene-2,3-diol in 4f-metal coordination chemistry has provided access to a new family of Ln(III)8 clusters with a "Christmas-star" topology, single-molecule magnetism behavior, and ligand-centered emissions.

In the title compound, [Fe(NCS)2(C8H6N4S2)2] n , the Fe(II) cation is coordinated by two terminal N-bonded thio-cyanate anions and four bridging N:N'-bridging dipyrazin-2-yl di-sulfide ligands in an octa-hedral geometry. The Fe(II) cations are connected via bridging 4,4'-di-pyrazine ligands into chains along the b-axis direction. The asymmetric unit consists of one Fe(II) cation located on posi...

The study describes the synthesis and characterization of zinc(II) minoxidil nanocomposite (1). The reaction between zinc(II) acetate, minoxidil, {C9H15N5O=minoxidil=(2,4-diamino-6-piperidine-1-yl) pyrimidine N-oxide)} as a ligand and KI as bridging agent, in methanol at 60°C leads to the formation of nano-sized Zn(II) minoxidil nanocomposite, 1. Characterization of (1) was carried out by eleme...

Two new nano-sized lead(II) and mercury(II) coordination polymers, [Pb(2-bpdh)(NO3)2(H2O)]n(1); (2-bpdh = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza- 2,4-hexadiene)} and [Hg(4-bpdb)(SCN)2]n (2); (4-bpdb= 1,4-bis(4- pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene) were synthesized by a sonochemical method. The structure of 1 may be considered coordination polymer of lead(II) and Single crystal X–ray analysis of compound ...

In the title coordination polymer, [Hg(NCS)(2)(C(4)H(5)N(3))], the Hg(II) atom is four-coordinated by one aromatic N atom from a 2-amino-pyrimidine ligand, one S atom from a terminal thio-cyanate ligand, and one S atom and one N atom from a bridging thio-cyanate ligand. The crystal structure features polymeric chains running along the b axis which are stabilized by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

the synthesis, spectroscopic and magnetic characterization of a series of new alkoxo-bridged binuclear copper (ii) compounds are described. all complexes have the general formula [cu (m-or)(l)2]2(clo4)2 · x h2o, in which m-or = ch3o-, c2h5o- or c3h7o-, l = 2-amino-4-methylpyridine (abbreviated a4pic) and 2-amino-5-methylpyridine ( abbreviated a5pic). the title compounds all consist of dinuclear...
