Abstract
Six new complexes [Mn8(μ4-O)4(phpz)8(MeOH)4]·(MeOH)(H2O) (1) [Co2(HphpzH)(Hphpz)2(phpz)2]·4(MeOH) (2), Ni(Hphpz)2 (3), [Ni(Hphpz)2]·H2O (4), [Zn4(pzpy)4Cl4] (5) and [Cu2(pzpy)2(HCO2)2(H2O)2] (6) have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions of MCl2·4H2O (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn or Cu) with 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-pyrazole (HphpzH) or 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (Hpzpy). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is an octanuclear Mn(III) cluster, complexes 2 and 6 are binuclear Co(III) and Cu(II), respectively, complexes 3 and 4 are isomorphous mononuclear species, while complex 5 is a tetranuclear Zn(II) cluster. The magnetic behavior of complex 1 was investigated. Magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the metal centers in the clusters. The luminescence properties of the complexes were investigated at room temperature in the solid state.
