Influence of the anions on the structure and magnetic properties of a series of bis(μ-diphenoxo)-bridged linear trinuclear copper(II) complexes: an experimental and theoretical study
The reaction of H2L (N,Nâ²-dimethyl-N,Nâ²-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzyl)-ethylenediamine) with different copper salts, in methanol and using a H2L/Cu = 2â:â3 molar ratio, led to four new bis(μ-diphenoxo)-bridged Cu3 complexes of general formula [{Cu(S)(μ-L)}2Cu(H2O)2n]X2 (S = CH3OH, n = 1 and X = BF4â
