Synthesis and Characterization of a Binuclear Copper(II) Naphthoisoamethyrin Complex Displaying Weak Antiferromagnetic Coupling
The reaction between a naphthylbipyrrole-containing hexaphyrin-type expanded porphyrin and copper acetate affords a bench-stable dicopper(II) complex. UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray crystallographic analysis measurements provide support for the conclusion that this complex displays aromatic features. A weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between the binuclear copper(II) ions is evidenced by variable-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance and by fitting of the bulk magnetic susceptibility to a dimer model, yielding J = -5.1 cm(-1).
