Synthesis of a series of novel binucleating ligands based on 1,4,7-triazacyclononane and o-, m- and p-xylene: crystal structure of the µ-hydroxy-bridged dicopper(II) complex [Cu2Lm(OH)2][BPh4 ]2 [Lm = α,α′-bis (N-1,4,7-triazacyclononane)-m-xylene]

Abstract

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of [Cu ₂ L ^m (OH) ₂ ][BPh ₄ ] ₂ has been determined; L ^m is one of three new binucleating ligands based on 1,4,7-triazacyclononane and o-, m- or p-xylene.
