New Mononuclear Cu(II) Complexes and 1D Chains with 4-Amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole

The crystal structures of two mononuclear Cu(II) NH(2)trz complexes [Cu(NH(2)trz)(4)(H2O)](AsF6)(2) (I) and [Cu(NH(2)trz)(4)(H2O)](PF6)(2) (II) as well as two coordination polymers [Cu((2)-NH(2)trz)(2)Cl]ClH2O (III) and [Cu((2)-NH(2)trz)(2)Cl] (SiF6)(0.5<bold>)1</bold>.5H(2)O (IV) are presented. Cationic 1D chains with bridging bis-monodentate (2)-coordinated NH(2)trz and bridging (2)-coordinated chloride ligands are present in III and IV. In these coordination polymers, the Cu(II) ions are strongly antiferromagnetically coupled with J = -128.4 cm(-1) for III and J = -143 cm(-1) for IV (H = -J Sigma SiSi+1), due to the nature of the bridges between spin centers. Inter-chain interactions present in the crystal structures were taken into consideration, as well as g factors, which were determined experimentally, for the quantitative modeling of their magnetic properties.
