Crystal Structures and Magnetic Properties of Two Phases from Imidazolate-bridged Copper(II) 4,6-Nonanedionate Complexes
A helical chain [Cu(dnbm)(mu-im)](n) and a tetrancuclear macrocycle [Cu(dnbm)([mu-im)](4) (Hdnbm = 4,6-nonanedione, Him = imidazole) were selectively prepared and structurally characterized. Their magnetic properties obeyed one-dimensional] chain and square models, respectively.
