[Ni(cyclam)(mu(1,3)-dca)(2)Cu(mu(1,5)-dca)(2)]: A genuine 3D bimetallic coordination polymer containing both mu(1,3)- and mu(1,5)-bidentate dicyanamide bridges and a ferromagnetic interaction between copper(II) and nickel(II) ions
The structure of [Ni(cyclam)(mu(1,3)dca)(2)Cu(mu (1,5)-dca)(2)], a genuine 3D dicyanamide-bridged bimetallic coordination polymer, is made up of 2D [Cu(mu-1,5dca)(2)](n) layers connected by [Ni(cyclam)(mu(1,3)-dca)(2)] bridging moieties; it exhibits a ferromagnetic exchange interaction between copper(II) and nickel(II) ions through the mu(1,3)-bidentate dicyanamide bridges.
