Abstract The complex, f½Cu Lðl2 -taÞðCH3 OHÞ2 gn (L ¼ N,N-dimethyl-N 0 -(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)-ethylene-diamine, ta ¼ terephthalic acid dianion), has been synthesized. X-ray analyses revealed that the copper atom exhibits a distorted square pyramidal geometry, with three nitrogen atoms from the tridentate ligand and two carboxylato-oxygen atoms from different tas. Each ta ligand adopts a l2 ), and the tridentate ligand acts as a terminal ligand with a bridging mode with a typical average Cu–O distance (1.945–2.204 A ). Thus, each ta ligand links two metal centers and each metal center connects two ta ligands to typical Cu–N distance (1.992–2.087 A form the zigzag chain structure. Variable temperature magnetic measurement of the complex shows that a weak ferromagnetic interaction between the copper(II) ions. Ó 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Molecular magnetism has certainly been one of the most active fields in modern inorganic chemistry on account of its promising application to diverse areas of technology such as magnetic recording and magnetic optics [1,2]. In this context, much attention has been paid to the architecture of polymeric magnetic systems, which can provide a better understanding of the correlation between structure and magnetism [3,4]. As a multidentate bridging ligand, terephthalate (ta) has been used in many synthetic systems because they can form short bridges via one carboxylato end or long bridges via the benzene ring, leading a great variety of structures [5,6]. On the other hand, the terephthalato dianion has been proved to be the appropriate bridging unit to design very interesting polymeric magnetic systems with a between the magnetic centers separation of 11–12 A [6–9]. *

2. Experimental 2.1. General All starting materials were of analytical grade. IR spectra were recorded as KBr discs on a Shimadzu IR408 infrared spectrophotometer in the 4000–600 cm 1 region. The 1 HMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 with a Bruker 300 MHz spectrometer. Elemental analyses (C, H, N) were performed on a Perkin–Elmer 240C analyser. The ultraviolet and visible spectra were measured on a Shimadzu UV-2101 PC spectrophotometer, water was the solvent in this study. Magnetic susceptibility measurement of a crystalline sample was carried out in the temperature range 4–300 K on a Maglab system2000 magnetometer at a field strength of 10,000 G.

2.2. Synthesis of the ligand L To N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (1.76 g, 20 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) was added pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (2.14, 20 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) dropwise. The mixture was refluxed for 1 h to get a bright yellow solution and then was evaporated to get a deep red oil. The oil was dissolved in 30 ml methanol and NaBH4 (0.95 g, 25 mmol) was added slowly. The solution was refluxed for 4 h and then was evaporated to dryness. The resulting solid was dissolved in water and extracted with CH2 Cl2 (15 ml 3). The CH2 Cl2 layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and was rotaevaporated to get N,N-dimethyl-N 0 -(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)-ethylenediamine as a brownish yellow oil (2.4 g, 67%).

In each molecule, one of the methanol molecules links with the uncoordinated oxygen atom of ta ligand by hydrogen . bond with the Oð5Þ–Hð5Þ Oð2Þ distance of 2.732 A Each ta ligand adopts a l2 -bridging mode with a ), and the typical average Cu–O distance (1.948–2.203 A tridentate ligand acts as a terminal ligand with a typical ). Thus, each ta ligand Cu–N distance (2.004–2.077 A links two metal centers and each metal center connects two ta ligands to form the zigzag chain structure. Along the bc plane, each chain is connected with two ones by hydrogen bonds, leading to 2D sheets consti 11:284 A rectangles (Fig. 2). The tuted with 17:314 A tridentate ligand C–H groups act as hydrogen donors and the uncoordinated oxygen atoms of tas act as acceptors, with the Cð14Þ–Hð14BÞ Oð4Þ and Cð15Þ– [12], Hð15AÞ Oð4Þ distance of 3.432 and 3.359 A respectively. The dihedral angle in complex 1 between the carboxylate group and the benzene ring is about 5.4°. The carboxylate group shows the expected trigonal geometry with the values of the carbon–oxygen bond distance and [C(1)– O–C–O intracarboxylate bond angle, 1.264 A [C(1)–O(2)], 124.0° [O(1)–C(1)–O(2)], O(1)], 1.247 A [C(8)–O(3)], 1.229 A [C(8)–O(4)], 121.1 [O(3)– 1.323 A C(8)–O(4)].

In the IR spectra, a broad band at about 3350 cm 1 may be attributable to the m(OH) of methanol and the sharp band of 3050 cm 1 can be assigned to the m(NH) stretching frequency of the reduced Schiff base ligand. The absorption band due to
mas (COO) and ms (COO) appear at 1575 and 1345 cm 1 , respectively. Their difference, D ¼ 230 cm 1 , is characteristic of the monodentate coordination mode of the terephthalic dianion [13–16]. The complex shows a broad band centered at about 630 nm (emax ¼ 310 dm3 mol 1 cm 1 ) in water at 298 K which is tentatively attributed to the electronic transitions 2 B1 ! 2 E and 2 B1 ! 2 B2 . This spectrum is typical d–d charge-transfer bands in the square-pyramidal Cu(II) surrounding [17,18]. Magnetic property. The magnetic behaviour of complex 1 is shown in Fig. 3 in the form of leff and vM vs. T. At room temperature the effective magnetic moment equals 1.77lB which is only slightly higher than the spin-only value of monoclear copper(II) S ¼ 1=2 ions (theoretical value for leff ¼ 1:73lB ). A least-squares fit of the data to the equation yields the values of J ¼ 0:02 cm 1 , and g ¼ 2:04, R ¼ 1:5 10 4 . The behavior is characteristic
