Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Metathesis of the isomorphous 15-metallacrown-5 complexes {[LnCu(5)(GlyHA)(5)(SO4)(H2O)(6.5)]}(2)(SO4)6H(2)O (Ln(III) = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu; GlyHA(2-) = glycinehydroxamate) with excess p-bdc(2-) (p-bdc(2-) = terephthalate) gave pairs of isomorphous complexes {[LnCu(5)(GlyHA)(5)(CO3)(H2O)(4)](2)(p-bdc)}15H(2)O [Ln = Pr (1) and Nd (2)] and {[LnCu(5)(GlyHA)(5)(SO4)(H2O)(x)](2)(p-bdc)}yH(2)O [Sm (3) x = 5, y = 12; Eu (4), x = 4, y = 14] as outcomes of partial sulfate replacement. Complexes 1-4 are discrete dimers with two 15-metallacrown-5 blocks {LnCu(5)}(3+), a bridging p-bdc(2-) and a bidentate capping anion on each Ln(3+). The anion caps in 1 and 2 are carbonates from atmospheric CO2 capture, while in 3 and 4 the anion caps are sulfates. Between 3 K and 300 K, intrametallacycle antiferromagnetic exchange interactions amongst the Cu2+ dominate the magnetic properties of 1-4, while for the Ln(3+), spin-orbit coupling and crystal field effects are significant, the former being greater for Sm3+ and Eu3+. The experimental T-M vs. T data were fitted with an additive model reflecting the dominance of the CuCu superexchange, while Ln(3+)Cu(2+) exchange interactions were taken into account through a molecular field approach. The best-fit values (-2J(Cu-Cu)) for the intercopper superexchange interactions range from 88 to 120 cm(-1); the g-factors, spin-orbit coupling () and axial crystal field splitting () parameter values are typical for Ln(III).
