The Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes with 3,5-diphenyl-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole (L) of the composition CuLA2 · H2O (A = Cl−, Br−), CuL2A2 (A = Cl−, Br−, NO3−), CoL2A2 · nH2O (A = Cl−, n = 1; A = NCS−, n = 0) are synthesized. In these complexes, the ligand L is coordinated to a metal in monodentate mode through the heterocyclic N(1) atom. The Cu: L = 1: 1 complexes have binuclear structures with the anions acting as bridges, whereas the M: L = 1: 2 complexes are mononuclear. Both ferro-and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions are detected for the synthesized complexes.
