Abstract

Three triple helical binuclear complexes [Ni2(L1)3] · (ClO4)4 · (H2O)3 (1) (L1 = 1,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-1-amino-4-methyl-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene), [Ni2(L2)3] · (ClO4)4 · (H2O)3 (2) (L2 = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene) and [Mn2(L1)3] · (ClO4)4 · (H2O)3 (3) have been studied, where the Li ligand possesses a rotationally flexible single N-N bond. In complexes 1-3, the three bis(bidentate) diazine ligands wrap around two metal cations with a spiral conformation, leading to a triple helicate with C3 symmetry. Magnetic investigations revealed that antiferromagnetic interactions are operative between the two metal ions linked by the triple diazine bridges, with J = -2.97 and -5.40 cm-1 for 1 and 2, respectively. Variable temperature magnetic data for 3 indicates a weak ferromagnetic interaction between the two manganese(II) centers with J = 1.24 cm-1. The X-ray powder diffraction of 3 is also discussed.
