Title: Electron density analysis of the layered antiferromagnetic compound Cu{sub 2}(OH){sub 3}NO{sub 3}: Relationship with the magnetic interaction mechanism

Abstract

The electronic properties of the antiferromagnetic layer compound copper hydroxonitrate [Cu{sub 2}(OH){sub 3}NO{sub 3}] are investigated by high-resolution single-crystal x-ray diffraction at 114 K. A pseudoatomic multipolar model is used to reconstruct the experimental electron density (ED) distribution, whose quantitative analysis is performed through the quantum theory of atoms in molecules. The topological properties of the ED indicate indirect Cu{center_dot}{center_dot}{center_dot}Cu bonds mediated by the hydroxo and nitrate ions among the two-dimensional (2D) copper lattice. A mean charge transfer of 0.4 electrons from the copper atoms to the hydroxo groups and of 0.76 electrons to the nitrate ion is determined via numerical integration of the ED over the atomic basins. Low but nonetheless significant Cu-O partial covalent bonds do also exist. Interplane interaction pathways are furthermore localized and characterized.

    The syntheses of polynuclear copper(II)-lanthanide(III) complexes using the 2,6-bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]-4-methylphenolato ligand (bdmmp) have been investigated. The reaction of Cu(OCH{sub 3}){sub 2} with 2 equiv of bdmmpH in THF yields a mononuclear copper complex Cu(bdmmp){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O) (1), which subsequently reacts with 1 equiv of Pr(hfacac){sub 3} or La(O{sub 2}CCF{sub 3}){sub 3} (hfacac = hexafluoroacetylacetonato) to produce two heteronuclear complexes Pr{sup III}-Cu{sup II}(bdmmp)(bdmmpH)(OH)(hfacac){sub 3} (2) and [La{sup III}Cu{sup II}(bdmmp)(bdmmpH)(OH)(O{sub 2}CCF{sub 3}){sub 3}]{sub 2} (3). The reaction of Cu{sub 4}(bdmmp){sub 2}({mu}{sub 4}-O)(O{sub 2}CCF{sub 3}){sub 4} (4). The structures of compounds 1-4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The magnetic properties ofmore » these compounds have been examined by variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. The magnetism of compound 2 is dominated by the paramagnetism of the Pr(III) ion, while the magnetism of 4 is dominated by antiferromagnetic exchanges of the Cu(II) ions with J{sub 1} = -101 cm{sup {minus}1}, J{sub 2} = -101 cm{sup {minus}1}, J{sub 3} = -45 cm{sup {minus}1}, J{sub 4} = 3 cm{sup {minus}1}, and g = 2.02. UV-vis spectroscopic studies revealed that compound 1 has an intense ligand {yields} metal charge transfer band at {lambda} = 427 nm. Molecular orbital analysis on the electronic structure of 1 by extended Hueckel MO methods indicates that this absorption band is mainly due to the transitions of the {pi} orbitals of the phenoxy ligand to the singly occupied d{sub x{sup 2}-y{sup 2}} orbital of the copper ion.« less

    The new compound Cu{sub 3}(TeO{sub 3}){sub 2}Br{sub 2} crystallizes in the monoclinic spacegroup C2/m. The unit cell parameters are a=9.3186(18)A, b=6.2781(9)A, c=8.1999(16)A, {beta}=107.39(2){sup o}, Z=2. The structure is solved from single crystal data, R{sub 1}=0.021. The new compound shows a layered structure where only weak van der Waals interactions connect the layers. There are two crystallographically different Cu(II) atoms; one having a square planar [CuO{sub 4}] coordination and one showing an unusual [CuO{sub 4}Br] trigonal bi-pyramidal coordination, the Br-ion is located in the equatorial plane. The Te(IV) atom has a tetrahedral [TeO{sub 3}E] coordination where E is the 5s{sup 2}more » lone-pair. Within the layers the Cu-polyhedra are connected by corner- and edge sharing to form chains. The chains are separated by the Te atoms. The magnetic properties are dominated by long range magnetic ordering at T{sub c}=70K. Evidence for a coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions exists.« less
