Abstract:
An asymmetrical double Schiff-base Cu(II) mononuclear complex, HCuLp (H 3 Lp is N-3-carboxylsalicylidene-N′-5-chlorosalicylaldehyde-1,3-diaminopropane) and a heterometal trinuclear complex with double molecular structure (CuLp) 2 Co·5H 2 O have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analyses, IR and electronic spectra. The crystal structure of the heterotrinucler complex was determined by X-ray analysis. Each asymmetric unit within the unit cell of the complex contains two heterotrinuclear neutral molecules (a) [CuLpCoCuLp], (b) [(CuLpH 2 O)CoCuLp] and four uncoordinated water molecules. In the two neutral molecules, the central Co 2+ ions are located at the site of O 6 with a distorted octahedral geometry, one terminal Cu 2+ ion (Cu(3)) at the square-pyramidal environment of N 2 O 3 , and the other three at the square planar coordination geometry with N 2 O 2 donor atoms. Magnetic properties of the heterotrinucler complex have been determined in the temperature range 5–300K, indicating that the interaction between the central Co 2+ ion and the outer Co 2+ ions is antiferromagnetic. The exchange integral J is equal to−34.9(7)cm −1 .Keywords: Asymmetrical double Schiff base; Heterotrinuclear complex; Crystal structure; Magnetic property
