Abstract

Four novel tetranuclear macrocyclic complexes of the formula [(CuLi)3Fe](ClO4)3·3H 2O (i=1-4, Li are the dianions of the [14]N4 and [15]N4 macrocyclic oxamides, namely 2,3-dioxo-5,6:13,14-dibenzo-7,12-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,11- tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,11-diene, 2,3-dioxo-5,6:13,14-dibenzo-9-methyl-7,12-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,11- tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,11-diene and 2,3-dioxo-5,6:14,15-dibenzo-7,13-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,12- tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,12-diene] have been prepared and characterized. These complexes are the first examples of oxamido-bridged Cu(II)-Fe(III) heterometallic species. Cryomagnetic studies on [(CuL1)3Fe](ClO4)3·3H 2O (1) and [(CuL3)3Fe](ClO4)3·3H 2O (3) (77-300 K) revealed that the Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions interact antiferromagnetically through the oxamido bridge, with the exchange integral J=-30.8 cm-1 for 1 and J=-28.7 cm-1 for 3 based on Ĥ=-2J ∑ŜiŜj. The interaction parameters have been compared with that of the related [Cu3Mn] compound.
