Abstract

A porous three-dimensional copper(II) metal-organic framework (MOF) {[Cu2(tci)(OH)(pip)0.5(H2O)]·6H2O} n (1) [tci = tris (2-carboxyethyl)isocyanurate, pip = piperazine] has been generated under hydrothermal conditions at 120 °C. Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the polymer exhibits a novel three-dimensional framework based on planar tetranuclear copper(II) cluster units. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data in the range 2–280 K show antiferromagnetic spin-spin coupling in the tetranuclear unit in complex 1. A theoretical fitting of the magnetic data gives J values of −31.3 cm−1, −30.8 cm−1, and 13.5 cm−1.
