Self-assembly preparation, structure and magnetic studies of a novel dinuclear copper(II) complex: [Cu2(μ-OH)(μ-OAc)(μ-L)][BF4]2 [L = bis-1,3-(cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane)xylylidiene

Abstract

The crystal structure of a novel dinuclear copper(II) complex, with the bridging ligand bis-1,3-(cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane)xylylidiene has been obtained; the complex was prepared using a single-pot reaction of copper(II) salts, isophthalaldehyde and cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane.
