Abstract:
Complexation of 4,6-bis{3-(2-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl}pyrimidine (bppp) and copper(II) tetrafluoroborate in methanol gave a self-assembled [Cu2(CH3O)2(bppp)2]2+ ion having a betweenanene-type structure. Each bppp spans across the common Cu2O2 plane in a trans fashion to ligate each copper center. The antiferromagnetic interaction observed in the Cu2O2 core is ascribable to the superexchange along the Cu-O-Cu linkage and found to be one of the largest among the analogous compounds, owing to the large Cu-O-Cu angle perturbed with the two bppp molecular tweezers.

Spin–Spin Coupling: One-Bond Coupling
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
