Abstract
Two CuII complexes with the new zwitterionic ligand. 1-carboxymethylpyridinio-3-benzoate (L), [Cu4L4(OH) 2](ClO4)2' 8H2O (1) and [Cu 4L4(OH)2]Cl2.8H2O (2), have been synthesized and characterized crystallographically and magnetically. The two compounds contain isostructural chains, in which the anionic basic copper(II) carboxylate clusters [CU4(μ3-OH) 2(RCOO)8]2-are quadmply interlinked by cationic organic spacers. Magnetic analyses using a tetranuclear model indicate that antiferromagnetic interactions between neighboring copper(II) ions are operative through the double hydroxo bridges and the mixed hydroxo/carboxylato bridges.
