Abstract

Two binuclear compounds [Ni2(pmdtn)2(tp)(H 2O)2](ClO4)2(H2O) 4 (1) and [Ni2(pmdtn)2(tp)(N3) 2](H2O)4 (2) have been prepared by using the multibinding terephthalate (=tp) dianion and the tridentate capping ligand N,N,N,N,N″-pentamethyldiethyltriamine (=pmdtn) and have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and magnetic measurements. The crystal structures of both complexes show distorted octahedral geometries around the Ni(II) centers linked by the tp bridges in a bisbidentate fashion. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings and carboxylate groups correspond to 14.2° for 1 and 21.5° for 2. The intradimer distance of Ni⋯Ni through the tp ligand for 1 and 2 are 10.731 and 10.800 Å, respectively. The magnetic data reveal weak antiferromagnetic interactions transmitted by the tp bridge with J=-0.18 cm-1 (1) and -0.02 cm -1 (2), which is explained by the structural parameters.
