Abstract

A new terephthalato-bridged binuclear nickel(II) complex with a tetraazamacrocyclic compound as the terminal ligand, [Ni2(cth)2(μ-TPHA)](ClO4)2 (1) [cth=rac-5,7,7,12,14,14- hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane] has been synthesized and characterized. According to X-ray crystallographic studies on the solvated species 1·2CH3OH, each Ni(II) ion lies in a distorted octahedral environment, and the terephthalato ligand bridges two Ni(II) ions in a bis bidentate fashion. Cryomagnetic measurements revealed Curie-Weiss behaviour with θ=-1.4K. Such behaviour may be due to a very weak intramolecular superexchange interaction through the extended bridge, a weak intermolecular exchange interaction or the local zero-field splitting of Ni(II) ions.
