Abstract

Three new transition metal tricyanomethanide complexes [Cu(dpyam)(tcm) 2] (1), [Cu(dpyam)(tcm)(OAc)] (2) and Zn(dpyam)2(tcm) 2 (3) were synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In 1 each copper(II) atom is coordinated to three tcm anions and one dpyam molecule to form a square pyramide geometry. In 2 the coordination geometry around the central metal is also square pyramidal, and each copper atom is surrounded by two tcm anions, one dpyam ligand and one OAc. Both 1 and 2 display μ1,5-tcm bridged infinite chain structure. In 3 each zinc(II) atom is coordinated by two tcm anions and two dpyam molecules to form a distorted octahedral geometry. Different from the former two complexes, 3 shows a mononuclear structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurement in the range 2-300 K indicates that there are weak antiferromagnetic couplings between adjacent copper(II) ions in 1 (J=-0.03 cm-1) and 2 (7=-0.11 cm-1) respectively.
