An unusual zig-zag 1D copper(ii) coordination polymer displaying magnetic phase transition†
Abstract
An unusual Cu(II) coordination polymer [Cu(Him)2(L)] (1) having a 4,4′-{[1,2-phenylene bis-(methylene)]bis(oxy)}dibenzoic acid ligand and an imidazole ligand possessing a 1D zig-zag chain was constructed and its magnetic behaviour was investigated, which indicated a magnetic phase transition below 25 K as well as long-range magnetic ordering.
