Aggregation of the metallocycles {Cu} and {Cu} using [Cu(bp)] units (Hbp = bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)amine): structures and magnetic properties

Two metallocycles, {Cu 8 (bp) 4 (OH) 4 (H 2 O) 4 (ClO 4 ) 4 } ( 1 ) and {Cu 20 (bp) 20 } ( 2 ), were afforded by the reactions of the semi-flexible tridentate ligand bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)amine (H 2 bp) with Cu(ClO 4 ) 2 ·6H 2 O and Cu(OAc) 2 ·H 2 O. Complex 1 has a saddle-shaped cyclic structure and...

Description
Summary:Two metallocycles, {Cu 8 (bp) 4 (OH) 4 (H 2 O) 4 (ClO 4 ) 4 } ( 1 ) and {Cu 20 (bp) 20 } ( 2 ), were afforded by the reactions of the semi-flexible tridentate ligand bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)amine (H 2 bp) with Cu(ClO 4 ) 2 ·6H 2 O and Cu(OAc) 2 ·H 2 O. Complex 1 has a saddle-shaped cyclic structure and complex 2 has a nanosized wheel-shaped structure. The two compounds consist of [Cu(bp)] units. Metallocyclic complexes of Cu 8 and Cu 20 were created based on the structural constraint of bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)amine.
