Syntheses, Structures, and Properties of Copper(II) Complexes of Bis(2-pyridylmethyl) Derivatives of o-, m-, and p-Phenylenediamine and Aniline
Copper(II) complexes of the ligand 1,n-bis[bis(2-pyridyimethyl)amino]benzene with n = 2-4 (1,n-tpbd) and its mononuclear derivative bis(2-pyridyimethyl)aniline (phbpa) were synthesized and structurally characterized. Magnetic measurements and DFT calculations were performed on [CuCl2(phbpa)], [Cu2Cl4(1,3-tpbd)], [(Cu2Cl2(ClO4)(1,3-tpbd))Cl(Cu2Cl2(OH2)(1,3-tpbd))](ClO4)2, and [Cu-2(OH2)(2)(S2O6)(1,3-tpbd)]S2O6, and the exchange-polarization mechanism was successfully demonstrated.
