End-to-end single cyanato and thiocyanato bridged Cu(ii) polymers with a new tridentate Schiff baseligand: Crystal structure and magnetic properties

Abstract

A new tridentate Schiff base ligand HL (L = C14H19N2O), derived from the condensation of benzoylacetone and 2-dimethylaminoethylamine in a 1 ∶ 1 ratio, reacts with copper(II) acetate and cyanate, thiocyanate or azide, to give rise to several end-to-end polymeric complexes of formulae [CuL(µ1,3-NCO)]n1, [CuL(µ1,3-NCS)]n2 and the complex 3 has two crystallographically independent units of formula [CuL(N3)] in the asymmetric unit cell. Complex 3 exists in dimeric form rather than as a polymeric chain. Compound 1 is the first report of a singly end-to-end cyanate bridged polymeric chain of Cu(II) with a Schiff base as a co-ligand. There are many examples of double NCS bridged polymeric chains, but fewer singly bridged ones such as compound 2. We have characterized these complexes by analytical, spectroscopic, structural and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. The coordination geometry around the Cu(II) centers is distorted square pyramidal for 1 and 2 and square planar for complex 3. The magnetic susceptibility data show slight antiferromagnetic coupling for the polymers having J values −0.19 and −0.57 cm−1 for complexes 1 and 2 respectively. The low values of J are consistent with the equatorial–axial disposition of the bridges in the polymers.
