A multidentate hydrazone-type ligand (Z,Z)-bis(1-(pyridin-2-yl)-1-amino-methylidene)oxalohydrazid... more A multidentate hydrazone-type ligand (Z,Z)-bis(1-(pyridin-2-yl)-1-amino-methylidene)oxalohydrazide (H2L) was utilized in the synthesis of three new isomorphous tetranuclear complexes of the general formula [Ln4(HL)4(H2L)2(NO3)4](NO3)4·4CH3OH (Ln = Gd(III), 1, Tb(III), 2, Dy(III), 3) with the gridlike [2 × 2] topology. The analysis of the static magnetic data revealed weak anti-ferromagnetic interaction among lanthanide(III) atoms, whereas dynamic magnetic data led to the observation of the single-molecule magnet behavior in zero static magnetic field for the Dy4 compound 3 with Ueff = 42.6 K and τ0 = 1.50 × 10(-5) s. The theoretical CASSCF calculations supported also the presence of the net toroidal magnetic moment, which classifies compound 3 also as a single-molecule toroic.
New bi- and trinuclear copper(ii) complexes of aroylhydrazones of TFA and benzenecarboxylic acids... more New bi- and trinuclear copper(ii) complexes of aroylhydrazones of TFA and benzenecarboxylic acids were synthesized and characterized. Despite long range intramolecular CuCu distances of about 10 Å, exchange couplings between paramagnetic centres are observed with J values of 0.33 and 0.37 cm(-1) in binuclear complexes, and -0.33 cm(-1) in trinuclear complexes. Seven hyperfine peaks with a value of aCu = 37.0 × 10(-4) cm(-1) are observed in EPR spectra of binuclear complexes. The possible mechanisms responsible for the observed weak long range coupling via aromatic spacers are discussed.
