Abstract:
The hydrothermal synthesis of the novel complex poly[[μ2-N(1),N(4)-bis(pyridin-3-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxamide-κ(2)N(3):N(3')](μ4-phthalato-κ(4)O(1):O(1):O(1'):O(2'))copper(II)], [Cu(C8H4O4)(C22H16N4O2)]n, is described. With the phthalate ligand connecting neighbouring Cu(II) cations, an infinite one-dimensional chain is formed. Adjacent one-dimensional chains are connected by the dicarboxamide ligand, forming an intriguing two-dimensional framework. The magnetic properties and thermal stability of this complex are also described.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
