Abstract
The copper electron paramagnetic resonance gyromagnetic factors are theoretically studied for three novel Cu2+ coordination polymers [Cu(XL)(NO3 )2 ]n (1), {[Cu(XL)(4,4'-bpy)(NO3 )2 ]•CH3 CN}n (1a) and {[Cu(XL)3 ](NO3 )2 •3.5H2 O}n (2) with bi-triazole ligand (XL)=N,N'-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxdiimide bi(1,2,4-triazole) from the high-order perturbation calculations of the g factors for a rhombically elongated octahedral 3d9 group. The order (1≤1a<2) of gz can be illustrated by the dominant second-order perturbation term roughly proportional to the square of the covalency factor N. gx (and gy ) relies on the combination of the contributions from N, cubic field parameter Dq , and axial elongation of the copper sites and exhibits the sequence (1≤2<1a). As regards the axiality (gx ≈gy ) of g factors, this is because the perpendicular rhombic contribution from the deviations of the bond lengths and bond angles for the planar ligands with respect to an ideal octahedron and that from the discrepancies between the crystal fields of the planar ligands O2- and N3- largely cancel each other. The present theoretical studies on the copper electron paramagnetic resonance g factors would be helpful to understand the structures and properties of some promising coordination polymers containing copper with the novel bi-triazole ligand XL.
