Two new diazamesocyclic ligands based on 1,4-diazacycloheptane (DACH), functionalized by additional heterocyclic donor groups, 1,4-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1,4-diazacycloheptane (L1) and 1,4-bis(imidazol-4-ylmethyl)-1,4-diazacycloheptane (L2), together with their CuII complexes [Cu2(μ-Cl)(L1)2](ClO4)3 (1) and [Cu2(μ-Cl)(L2)2](ClO4)3 (2), have been synthesized and characterized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that both complexes have the unique mono-μ-Cl dimeric [Cu2(μ-Cl)(L)2]3+ structural motif. For both complexes, each CuII center is penta-coordinate in a distorted square-pyramidal environment with the bridging chloride atom at the apical position. The magnetic properties of mono-μ-chloro CuII dinuclear complexes have been investigated for the first time through the study of complexes 1 and 2 by variable temperature magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements. Weak ferromagnetic (for 1) or anti-ferromagnetic (for 2) interactions between the two CuII centers have been found and possible magneto-structural correlations have been analyzed.
