A novel hexanuclear copper cluster, [(PAH)4Cu(II)4Cu(I)2Br10], was synthesized. This complex exhibits ferromagnetic exchange between its dinuclear copper centers, confirmed by experimental and computational methods.

Area of Science:

  • Coordination Chemistry
  • Inorganic Synthesis
  • Magnetochemistry

Background:

  • Hydrolytically unstable ligands present challenges in coordination chemistry.
  • Copper bromide complexes are of interest for their diverse structural and magnetic properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a novel hexanuclear copper cluster.
  • To investigate the magnetic exchange interactions within the copper cluster.

Main Methods:

  • Redox reaction using salicilyl picolinamide hydrazone and CuBr2.
  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction for structural determination.
  • Density functional theory (DFT) calculations for electronic structure analysis.

Main Results:

  • Formation of the hexanuclear cluster [(PAH)4Cu(II)4Cu(I)2Br10] (1).
  • Observation of two well-separated Cu(II)2 dinuclear centers bridged by bromine atoms.
  • Experimental evidence of ferromagnetic exchange (2J = 4.04 cm(-1)) with DFT-supported singlet-triplet splitting.

Conclusions:

  • The study reports a new hexanuclear copper cluster with interesting magnetic properties.
  • The results highlight the role of ligand design and bridging ligands in controlling magnetic exchange interactions.
