Abstract:
The self-complementary coordination unit [Cu(H2 sabhea)]+ with a pentadentate amino alcohol as ligand enables the synthesis of the first triply hydrogen-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex. Proton transfer allows the reversible transformation between this triply and the corresponding doubly hydrogen-bridged form. Despite the very short hydrogen bond found for the triply bridged complex, its exchange coupling constant is much smaller than that for the doubly bridged complex. H3 sabhea=N-salicylidene-2-(bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino)ethyl amine.

Colors 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...
