Abstract

A neutral mononuclear complex [Cu(cbIm)4(NO3)2] (cbIm = 4'-cyanobenzyl-1-imidazol) was synthesized and characterized by x-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 8.249(2), b = 8.735(2), c = 16.597(2) Å, f = 81.980(10), g = 88.540(10), n = 63.570(10)° and Z = 2. The final refinement of the structure leads to R and Rw of 0.0394 and 0.0991, respectively. The crystal structure of the complex indicates a distorted octahedral environment around the Cu(II) atom, coordinated by four imidazole N atoms of four cbIm and two O atoms of two nitrates. Magnetic measurements show that the complex exhibits Curie behavior.
