Abstract
The synthesis of a novel V-shaped redox-active bipyridinium dimer ligand, 2,6-bis(4′-pyridyl-1′-pyridiniumyl)pyrazine (Bpypr) dichloride and its copper complexes, (H2BpYPr)[Cu2(C2O 4)4] (1) and {[(Bpypr)Cu2(C2O 4)3(H2O)2]·5H 2O}n (2), are described. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies confirm that complex 1 contains one V-shaped H2Bpypr cation and two essentially planar [Cu(C2O4)2] 2- anions, which participate in two hydrogen bonds through the two N-H moieties. Complex 2 has a 1D zigzag chain structure composed of [Cu 2(C2O4)3]2- units bridged by V-shaped Bpypr cations. The magnetic study revealed the occurrence of a weak ferromagnetic interaction within the dinuclear copper unit of complex 2. (
