Abstract

Taking advantage of a rigid tetradentate ligand of bis(pyrazoly)(3-pyrazolypyridinyl)methane (PyPz3) and the [CuII(opba)]2- unit [opba4- = o-phenylenebis(oxamato)], the trinuclear complex [{CoII(PyPz3)}2CuII(opba)][ClO4]2·5MeCN·MeOH (1) was constructed, in which the CoII centers adopt a trigonal-prismatic geometry, while considerable intramolecular magnetic coupling was successfully introduced through the oxamido bridges, representing another very first example of single-molecule magnets marrying both selected coordination geometry and magnetic exchanges.
