Abstract

The reaction between [CuCl2 · 2H2O] and N,N0-bidentate N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)aniline (La) and its derivatives (Lb and Lc) in methanol yielded new Cu(II) complexes; namely polynuclear [CuLaCl2]n, dinuclear [CuLb(μ-Cl)Cl]2, and mononuclear [CuLcCl2], respectively. Monomeric [CuLcCl2] showed a distorted square planar geometry around copper metal-based on X-ray crystallography. The polymeric [CuLaCl2]n and dimeric [CuLb(μ-Cl)Cl]2 had a chloro-bridged five-coordinated and a distorted square pyramidal geometry around the Cu(II) center. The Cu⋯Cu′ distance was 3.915(1) Å in [CuLaCl2]n and 3.928(1) Å in [CuLb(μ-Cl)Cl]2. Interestingly, magnetic susceptibility (χ) measurements of complexes [CuLaCl2]n and [CuLb(μ-Cl)Cl]2 exhibited a weak antiferromagnetic interaction.
