Design and synthesis of magnetic ladders: structure and magnetic properties of Cu(2,3-dimethylpyrazine)Br-2
The compound copper(2.3-dimethylpyrazine)dibromide has been prepared and its structure solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound occurs as a coordination polymer with chains of Cu-2,3-dimethylpyrazine groups cross-linked into a ladder structure by the bromide ions. Magnetic susceptibility and magnetization data support a ladder model. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
